SUBJECT: U.S. COMMENTS ON NORWEGIAN SEVEN-COUNTRY
NONPROLIFERATION INITIATIVE
REF: SECSTATE 121698
U.S. comments on Norway's Seven-Country Nonproliferation
Initiative (reftel) were delivered July 26 to French MFA
nonproliferation desk officer Arnaud Mentre. In a follow-up
conversation on July 28, Mentre said that the GOF appreciated
the comments, noting that the tone was respectful yet
prudent. He said that he had read the Norweigan proposal and
U.S. comments side-by-side, with special attention paid to
the U.S. concern that nonproliferation be made more prominent
(rather than disarmament) and that Fissile Material Control
Treaty negotiations take place immediately.
