Description

The document discusses various points related to the NSG (Nuclear Suppliers Group) and the upcoming Warsaw meeting. It mentions that the Americans have been lobbied by the Japanese for a coordination slot in the NSG, and the Dutch also express interest in the same role. The preference for government-to-government exchanges of notes is mentioned, and the Americans plan to communicate this to all partners. Some members suggest a possible delay of one month, which Earl supports, but Thiobaud suggests that countries ready to exchange notes should proceed. The decision on inviting Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan as observers is left to the Poles. The American delegation, led by Kennedy, will include representatives from various departments. The Americans plan to address the issue of FSS (Full Scope Safeguards) with the Russians during the Warsaw meeting, as they have noticed a recent reluctance to implement the policy. They will urge NSG members to insist on FSS for its political significance.
