This document discusses the U.S. draft proposals for the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the Soviet response to them. The key points include:

1. U.S. Draft: The U.S. proposes amendments to the NPT regarding the application of safeguards, negotiation of agreements between states and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and the implementation of safeguards without hampering nuclear activities.

2. Soviet Response: The Soviets initially object to some points in the U.S. draft but later agree to accept the package of U.S. proposals with a reformulation of the first sentence. The Soviets emphasize the importance of IAEA safeguards and seek wider adherence to the non-proliferation goals.

3. Differences: The U.S. and Soviet positions differ on issues such as the application of safeguards, negotiation of agreements, and the exclusive purpose of nuclear energy. The U.S. emphasizes the need to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons, while the Soviets stress the role of IAEA safeguards and the peaceful use of nuclear energy.

Overall, the document reflects the ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and the Soviet Union regarding the NPT, with discussions revolving around the application of safeguards, agreements with the IAEA, and the goals of non-proliferation and peaceful nuclear energy use.
