MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. Archelaus R. Turrentine
Acting Assistant Director,
Nuclear and Weapons Control
Arms Control and Disarmament Agency
FROM : David B. Low
National Intelligence Officer at Large
SUBJECT : SNIE 73-84: "Trends in South Africa's Nuclear
Security Programs and Policies"
1. We held the coordinating meeting on the concept and terms of
reference for this SNIE this morning, and appreciated the attendence and
constructive comments of Gary Bray.
2. After the meeting the principal drafters and I came up with the
idea of requesting ACDA, with the support of DOE, to create a first draft
of an Appendix on South Africa and the IAEA/Safeguards. As Gary can
explain to you, this appendix was scheduled to be a part of the paper. It
seemed to us that you were in the logical position to contribute a draft on
this portion. DOE (Frank Minton, who attended the meeting) has already
offered its support in such an effort.
3. Please let me know if this would be an acceptable way of
proceeding. Our timetable is to have first drafts to me for initial review
during January.
4. I very much enjoyed our meeting yesterday with Lew Dunn and
yourself and look forward to getting together regularly.
