SyftiSUal DISARMAMENT: DEFINITION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS

IN YOUREFTEL YOU RAISED QUESTION OF ALTERNATIVES TO PROPOSED
USA DEFINITION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY
WHICH WOULD HAVE EFFECT OF PREVENTING NON-NUCLEAR STATES FROM
GAINING ENTRANCE TO NUCLEAR CLUB BY BACK DOOR, YOU SUGGESTED
TREATY PROVISION FOR BANNING OF ALL MILITARY NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS '
BY NON-NUCLEAR STATES COUPLED WITH OBLIGATION TO DEVISE ARRANGEi

MENTS PERMITTING PEACEFUL (PRESUMABLY SUPERVISED) NUCLEAR
EXPLOSIONS*

• '

CHALFONT ALSO MADE LATTER POINT. FISHER SUGGESTED

PROHIBITION OF ALL NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS BY NON-NUCLEAR STATES
THROUGH DEVIOUS WORDING EXCLUDING QUOTE ANY ACTIVITIES WHICH WOULD
RELEASE CERTAIN AMOUNT OF NUCLEAR ENERGY IN GIVEN PERIOD OF TIME
UNQUOTE,
2,

WE DOUBT THAT FISHER'S ALTERNATIVE DEFINITION WOULD BE ANY

MORE ATTRACTIVE TO NON-ALIGNED THAN ORIGINAL FOR ITS IMPLICATIONS
ARE THE SAME AND SCARCITY LIKELY TO ESCAPE NON-ALIGNED. RE YOUR

JTOESTI ALREADY EFFECTIVELY PROHIBITS
MANUFACTURE OR ACQUISITION OF NUCI^AR WEAPONS,

E S*LOSION LIKELY

ONLY TYPE OF NUCI4

TO BE ATTEMPTED BY NON-NUCLEAR STATES THEREFORE

WOULD BE ALEDGEDLY PEACEFUL UNDERGROUND EXPLOSION. TO INCLUDE
PROVISION PERMITTING SUCH EXPLOSIONS WOULD HOWEVER RAISE QUESTION
OF SUPERVISION AND INSPECTION WITH ALL ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR
WESTERN POSITION ON UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR TESTING.
3,

FOR REASONS GIVM IN OUREFTELS AND BECAUSE THEY WOUID T©JD

TO COMPLICATE ATTAINMENT OF ALREADY ELUSIVE NON-PROLIFERATION
TREATY, WE CONTINUE TO BE WARY BOTH OF PROPOSED DEFINITIONS AND
OF OPTION FOR PEACEFUL EXPLOSIONS. IF WE ARE TO MOVE IN THE
REALM OF UNDERGROUND TESTING OR PEACEFUL EXPLOSIONS WE THINE If
WOULD BE BETTER DONE IN CONTEXT OF COMPREHENSIVE NUCLEAR TEST BAN.
IF AMERICANS ARE NEVERTHELESS PARTICULARLY ANXIOUS TO EXPLORE
SOVIET THINKING ON THESE POINTS, WE WOULD NOT RESIST.
