A-THAT I S MY UNDERSTANDING* Q-IS IT YOUR UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ARE NEGOTIATING SUCH TREATIES WITH OUR ALLIES? A~WELL,I THINK THIS:I THINK THAT ONE OF THE IMPORTANT SUBJECTS OF DISCUSSION AT THE NATO MEETINGS IN DEC WILL BE EXTENSION OF THE AMOUNT OF IRBM'S BEYOND GREATBRITAIN,WHERE,AS YOU KNOW,IT HAS ALREADY BEEN SETTLED SOME TIME BACK. Q-HOW QUICKLY DO YOU WANT TO NEGOTIATE TREATIES IN OTHER COUNTRIES? A-I WOULD LIKE TO PUT TT IN SOME DIFFERENT WAY.I WOULD SAY OUR INTEREST IN HAVING A DEPLOYMENT OF WEAPONS AT A DISTANCE THAT WILL LET US REACH OUR PROSPECTIVE ENEMY AND THE TREATIES THEMSELVES ARE MATTERS WHICH ARE A PROBLEM FOR THE STATE DEPT AND NOT FOR US* POLICY ON ATOM ARMS SOUGHT Q-SIR,DO YOU FAVOR AMENDING THE ATOMIC ENERGY ACT IN ORDER TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO TURN OVER NUCLEAR WEAPONS TO OUR ALLIES IN NATO? A-WELL I WOULD SAY THAT BECOMES A MATTER OF POLICY THAT IS MORE IN THE INTERNATIONAL FIELD.WE THINK THAT EVEN IF THERE IS SOME DIFFICULTY IN ACHIEVING THIS AS RAPIDLY AS MIGHT BE DESIRABLE, THAT WE COULD DO SOMETHING UNDER THE PRESENT LAW WHICH WOULD MAKE WEAPONS OF THIS KIND MORE READILY AVAILABLE TO OUR ALLIES.THERE WOULD BE THE KIND OF THING WHICH IS ALREADY IN EFFECT IN GREAT BRITAIN UNDER WHICH WEAPONS ARE AVAILABLE BUT ARE UNDER THE CONTROL OF USA PERSONNEL.

THE PRESIDENTS SCHEDULED CONFERENCE WITH DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS DEC3 IS DESIGNED TO TAKE THIS PROBLEM UNDER CONSIDERATION,ALONG WITH OTHER ASPECTS OF A BIPARTISAN EFFORT IN WESTERN ALLIED RELATIONS. A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF INFO THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NUCLEAR ENERGY ALSO HAS BEEN HELD BACK FROM THE ALLIES UNDER EXISTING POLICIES,IT IS SAID.AS THE PRESIDENT INDICATED IN HIS DEFENSE SECURITY SPEECHES,THOUGHT IS BEING GIVEN NOW TO MAKING SUCH INFO AVAILABLE. ONE OF THE THORNIEST CONSIDERATIONS IN THE COMING DISCUSSIONS IS EXPECTED TO CONCERN WESTERN ALLIED MILITARY MANPOWER CONTRIBUTIONS. FOR,IN ADDITION TO GREATBRITAIN AND BELGIUM,THE USA HAS NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME INDICATED A DESIRE TO REDUCE FORCES.TEXT ENDS 000415 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
