IT IS NOW LIKELY THAT A PRONOUNCEMENT CONCERNING ARRANGEMENTS
FOR THE STOCKPILING OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN NATO COUNTRIES MIGHT
BE MADE AT THE MINISTERIAL MEETING IN DEC.HOWEVER DESIRABLE
THIS MOVE MAY BE FROM A MILITARY POINT OF VIEW WE MUST ACCEPT
THE FACT THAT IT WILL BE POORLY RECEIVED BY MOST OF*THE WORLD
OUTSIDE NATO AND BY SOME SECTIONS OF PUBLIC OPINION WITHIN NATO
COUNTRIES.IT IS ALSO A STEP WHICH WILL BE REPRESENTED BY THE
SOVIET UNION AND PROBABLY ALSO BY SOME NEUTRALISTS AS CONTRARY
TO EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE EITHER DISARMAMENT OR A REDUCTION IN WORLD
TENSIONo
2oIT WOULD THEREFORE BE ADVANTAGEOUS IF THE DEC MEETING WERE TO
PLACE SOME EMPHASIS ON DISARMAMENT AND ON THE PEACEFUL SOLUTION
OF INTERNATIONAL PROBLEMS.EVIDENTLY IT WILL NOT BE EASY TO EVOLVE
A CONVINCING AND MEANINGFUL DECLARATION ESPECIALLY AS ONE OF THE
LOGICAL CENTRAL SUBJECTS WOULD BE RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF
NECLEAR WEAPONS,A REPETITION OF THE USUAL NATO PROTESTATIONS IN
COMBINATION WITH REITERATION OF THE SENSE OF POINT THREE OF THE
AUG29 PROPOSALS IN THIS RESPECT WOULD BE INSUFFICIENT.
3.WE HAVE BEGUN EXPLORING WHAT MIGHT BE DONE AND FOR THE PRESENT
AR MERELY PRESENTING THE PROBLEM.WE WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR COMMENTS
FROM ALL ADDRESSEES AND SUGGEST THAT THE QUESTION BE DISCUSSED
-INFORMALLY WITH OTHER DELEGATIONS AT NATO AND NEWYORK AND RAISED
WITH FOREIGN OFFICES IN LONDON,PARIS AND WASHDC.

CONSIDERED BY ELBRICK AND GERARD SMITH
