This confidential letter discusses the proposed reinterpretation of the centrifuge item on the Zangger List. It states that a meeting was agreed upon to further discuss the formulation of a proposal to be presented to the Zangger Committee. The participants for this meeting were decided to include the Americans, the Swiss, and the Centrifuge Partners. However, due to scheduling conflicts, the bilateral discussions with the Swiss have been delayed until early in the new year, causing a delay in the wider multilateral meeting until late January or possibly early February. The letter requests that the recipients inform others of the delay and emphasizes the continued interest and pursuit of the subject. Comments from the Dutch and Germans on the proposed reinterpretation are also requested. The letter is copied to various individuals for their information.
