The document is a letter from James H. Malone, a Councilor for Scientific and Technological Affairs, to Roland Smith. Malone informs Smith about a statement made by Secretary of State James Baker to the Nuclear Suppliers Group regarding the desire for all supplier nations to adopt full scope safeguards as a condition for significant new nuclear export commitments. Malone includes a copy of the statement in the letter and expresses the importance of nuclear non-proliferation for international peace and security. The letter emphasizes the need to increase the effectiveness of nuclear export controls, require full-scope safeguards, establish export guidelines, and persuade newly-emerging supplier countries to adopt comparable nuclear export controls. The United States is committed to working towards these goals and cooperating with other states.
