Arms Control: The delegations to the disarm-
ament conference at Geneva apparently are prepared.
to give substantial support to the revised Soviet
draft for a treaty on seabeds arms control.
The Soviet proposal, submitted on 19 August,
is regarded by US allies and by the nonaligned na-
tions participating in the conference as a signifi-
cant move by Moscow to accommodate the US position.
The Russians will accept the less comprehensive US
proposal for a ban only on weapons of mass destruc-
tion, have drawn closer to the more limited US po-
sition on verification, and are no longer calling
for actual inspection of undersea installations.
The principal differences remaining between
the US and Soviet approaches is the extent of the
seabeds to which the proposed treaty would apply.
.The US favors application beyond the three-mile
limit, while the Soviets and nearly all the other
conference delegations prefer that the ban begin
12 miles from shore.
The US delegation in Geneva has reported that
the conference participants anticipate a response
from Washington to the Soviet draft in short order.
Most of the conferees expect that an extended de-
bate between the US and the USSR will lessen the
chances of concluding a seabeds treaty this year
and could affect other arms limitations negotia-
tions with Moscow. Some of the nations meeting at
Geneva may be prepared to take the arms control
measure to the less-controlled UN disarmament forum
if progress at the conference is not forthcoming.
