The text is a set of talking points and suggestions for discussions with Ambassador Katsumi Ohno, a Japanese special emissary, regarding the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The points cover various proposals and concerns raised by the Japanese government (GOJ) and suggest possible positions for the US to take. The topics discussed include the necessity of international disarmament, the resolution urging all states to sign the NPT, UN resolutions or declarations on security assurances, proposals for stronger preambular paragraphs on nuclear disarmament, safeguards, and the peaceful use of nuclear energy, as well as the duration of the treaty and the review conference. The suggested US positions emphasize the need for equitable balance, addressing concerns of non-nuclear weapon states, and exploring actions at the General Assembly.
