The document is a confidential communication regarding the US review of non-proliferation policy. It suggests approaching the US to discuss certain aspects of the subject before the review is completed. The document outlines several points that the UK wishes to emphasize, including their views on enrichment and reprocessing services, the acceptability of reprocessing, the establishment of internationally supervised storage of plutonium, the need for assurances of guaranteed fuel supplies, the importance of consensus among supplier governments, the acceptance of full fuel cycle safeguards as a condition of supply, and exercising restraint on the export of sensitive plants and technology. The UK believes that open discussions will be beneficial and proposes a suitable opportunity during the IAEA Board of Governors meeting in Vienna in February. The document was sent by Crosland, and it includes a list of additional recipients.
