1. The CHLIRTULN invited views on the Working Group's proposal for
insertion of a Note in the definition of Item 1529, as set out in Annex B. to
COCOM Document 3715.29/5-
2. The MTITED STATES Delegate stated that his authorities believed
that definitive treatment of this problem should be postponed until the autumn
List Review. The discussions held by the Working Group of technical experts
had been valuable in identifying the nature and scope of the problem, which was,
however, a complex one, and which affected other International List definitions.
The United States authorities believed that the most effective approach would
be for all interested Member Governments to consider carefully the points made
during the technical discussions arid, if they deemed it desirable, to submit
specific redefinition pro iosals luring the List Review. Should its own tech-
nical examination indicate the desirability of such a step, the United States
Government would itself also submit a redefinition proposal. Pending the
List Review discussions, the United States authorities believed th-^t individual
cases which came within the area of the problem could best be handled through
the medium of individual exceptions cases. In considering such cases, the
United States authorities would take full account of the points made by other
Delegations during the technical discussions.
3. The CO1V TITTEE aJrreed that in these circumstances further discus-
sion on Item 1529 would have to be postponed until the annual List Review.
