Pages 5-7 from FCO 66751 - United States Proposal for Common Nuclear Export Policies

The communication discusses the arrangements for an exploratory meeting of the Nuclear Suppliers Club. The UK confirms that London can be offered as the venue on April 23, with April 24 as a spare day if needed. They prefer the Americans to issue the formal invitation and request information from the State Department regarding the proposal and reactions from other countries. Another message states that the French are willing to participate in the proposed meeting but seek assurances regarding informality, confidentiality, and the creation of formal institutions. The Americans emphasize the need for an early meeting due to concerns about nuclear deals being concluded before multilateral discussions take place. The UK confirms their agreement to host the meeting in London and asks for instructions regarding the mention of London and specific dates when informing other governments.
