WITH REGARD TO ` THE VICE PRESIDENT,, WE HAVE FOR OBVIOUS REASONS
TRIED TO KEEP HIS MEETINGS WITH FOREIGN DIGNATARIES TO A MINIMUM.

1. AS YOU KNOW9 WE HAVE ASKED FOR AN UPDATE ON NSSM 156
ON INDIAN NUCLEAR DEVELOPMENTS. IN ADDITION, IT APPEARS THAT
WE SHOULD ALSO REVIEW THE BROADER ISSUE OF U.S. POLICY CONCERNING
THE NON- PROLIFERATION TREATY. TO DO THIS, WE WOULD PROPOSE THE
FOLLOWING NSS,M:

THE CHAIRMAN, ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION
THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
THE DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE
THE DIRECTOR, ARMS CONTROL AND DISARMAMENT AGENCY
SUBJECT: NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY
THE PRESIDENT HAS DRECTED A REVIEW OF U.S. POLICY CONCERNING
THE NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY (NPT).
THE STUDY SHOULD REVIEW PRESENT U. S. POLICY CONCERNING NON-
--1'A-L-7.UERATIQN AND HE NP.T-- IN THE LIGHT. OF CHANGED C00 -0"-
SINCE COMPLETION O NSSM 13, AND, IN PARTICULAR, IN LIGHT OF
INDIA'S ANNOUNCEMENT OF ITS UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR TEST. THE
STUDY SHOULD CONSIDER THE FULL RANGE OF ISSUES POSED BY THE
CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES AFFECTING OUR POSTURE TOWARD NON-PRO-
LIFERATION AND THE NPT AND PRESENT OPTIONS FOR FUTURE U.S.
POLICY. IT ALSO SHOULD CONSIDER SPECIFICALLY WHETHER THE U.S.
PAGE 3 RUEADWW 2828 S E C R E T
SHOULD PRESS FOR RENEWED SUPPORT FOR THE TREATY BY THOSE NOW
PARTY TO IT AND ACCESSION TO THE TREATY BY THOSE NOT YET
SIGNATORS, AND IF SO HOW AND TO WHAT EXTENT. THE OPTIONS
SHOULD INCLUDE CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC, CONGRESSIONAL AND
DIPLOMATIC POSTURE FOR THE U.S.
THE STUDY SHOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE STUDY DONE IN RESPONSE
TO NSSM 13 AND SUBSEQUENT WORK IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, PART-
ICULARLY THAT IN PREPARATION FOR THE 1975 NPT REVIEW CON-
FERENCE. IT ALSO SHOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE WORK DONE IN
CONNECTION WITH NSSM 195 AND THE UPDATING CURRENTLY UNDERWAY
IN CONNECTION WITH NSSM 156.
THE PRESIDENT HAS DIRECTED THAT THE STUDY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY
THE NSC UNDER SECRETARIES COMMITTEE AND BE FORWARDED NOT LATER

Tot HENRY A. KISSINGER
FROM: BRENT SCOWCROFT
RUSH HAS SENT IN A REPORT ON THE PROGRESS IN OUR
NEGOTIATION OF A SUMMIT ENERGY AGREEMENT WITH THE USSR.
OUR ORIGINAL PROPOSAL HAD TWO CENTRAL ELEMENTS -- AN
EXCHANGE OF INFORMATIOU ON ENERGY PRODUCTION, DEMAND, RESERVE,
AND TRADE% AND COOPERATION ON ENERGY R&D IN CERTAIN AREAS
NOT INCLUDING OIL AND'GAS EXTRACTION TECHNOLOGY. WE ALSO
PROPOSED TO INCORPORATE IN THE AGREEMENT SOME ENERGY R&D
WORK THAT IS PLANNED BUT NOT YET EXECUTED UNDER THE S&T
BILATERAL ("REPACKAGING").
THE SOVIETS ARE PROPOSING, AS A COUNTER., (1) THAT THE
AREAS OF INFORMATION EXCHANGE BE LIMITED TO FORECASTING
METHODOLOGY AND TO THE COOPERATIVE PROJECTS THEMSELVESo (2)
THAT THE TECHNOLOGY COLLABORATION FOCUS CONSIDERABLE EFFORT
ON OIL AND BAS, AND (3) THAT WE NOT TRANSFER THE S&T
PROJECTS TO THE ENERGY AGREEMENT.
THE SOVIET PROPOSAL IS TROUBLESOME SINCE (1) WITHOUT

THE INFORMATION EXCHANGE WE WILL HAVE NO QUID PRO QUO TO BALANCE
THE TECHNOLOGY COOPERATION WHICH WOULD FAVOR THEM (AND
POSSIBLY, THEREFORE, BE A SOURCE OF SOME CONGRESSIONAL
CRITICISM), AND (2) OIL AND GAS TECHNOLOGIES ARE OFTEN COMMERCIALLY
SENSITIVE AND LARGELY BEYOND THE USE'S ABILITY TO TRANSFER
EVEN IF WE WERE SO INCLINED. WE STILL BELIEVE REPACKAGING
TO BE A GOOD IDEA IN ORDER TO HAVE AS COMPREHENSIVE AN AGREEMENT

-,ANTICIPATED A U.S. TEAM, HEADED BY AMBASSADOR STOESSEL,
WILL. BE INVITED TO MEET IN MOSCOW NEXT WEEK FOR FURTHER
NEGOTIATION.
RUSH PROPOSES THAT IN THE NEXT MEETING WE SHOULD (1) CONTINUE
TO PUSH FOR A BROAD INFORMATION EXCHANGE ON ENERGY, (2)
SEEK A FORMULATION OF COOPERATION ON FOSSIL FUELS WHICH
IS NOT SPECIFIC REGARDING PARTICULAR PROGRAMS, AND FAILING
THAT, ADD SEVERAL MORE SPECIFIC PROJECTS TO DIMINISH THE
PROMINENCE OF OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY; AND
(3) URGE REPACKAGING BUT, IF UNSUCCESSFUL, BE PREPARED TO ADD
SOME NEW BUT LESS WELL DEVELOPED AREAS OF COOPERATION IN NON-
CONVENTIONAL FORMS ON ENERGY (SYNTHETIC FUELS, HYDROGEN,
PETROCHEMICAL FEED) TO GIVE THE AGREEMENT GREATER BREADTH.
CHUCK COOPER, WITH STATE CONCURENCE PROPOSES THE FOLLOWING
AMPLIFICATIONS TO OUR NEGOTIATING POSITION:
-- ASSUMING THE SOVIETS AGREE TO AN INFORMATION EXCHANGE,
IF MIGHT BE DESIRABLE TO SEEK TO ESTABLISH IN THE AGREEMENT
A MECHANISM FOR THE EXCHANGE. A WORKING GROUP OF THE
JOINT COMMITTEE DEVOTED TO THE FUNCTION (AS IN THE AGRICULTURAL
AGREEMENT) WOULD BE ONE POSSIBILITY.
WE SHOULD MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO LIMIT THE DISCUSSION OF OIL
AND GAS TO A BROAD STATEMENT, AND NOT BECOME SPECIFIC AS TO
THE TYPES OF COOPERATION ENVISAGED. IT SHOULD BE LEFT TO THE
JOINT COMMITTEE TO DEVELOP SENSIBLE PROGRAMS..'
-- WE SHOULD GO AS FAR AS THE SOVIETS ARE WILLING IN BRINGING
ALL EXISTING COOPERATIVE ENERGY PROJECTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
-- BECAUSE OF OUR PRESENT.UNCERTAINITY CONCERNING THE
ATTAINABLE SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT, AND ALSO BECAUSE OF THE
REORGANIZATION OF THE ENERGY AGENCIES UNDERWAY IN OUR
GOVERNMENT, IT IS PREMATURE TO NAME OUR EXECUTIVE AGENT.
THIS ASSIGNMENT SHOULD BE LEFT OPEN FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
SUBJECT TO YOUR APPROVAL I WILL ISSUE INSTRUCTIONS IN YOUR
NAME TO THE U.S. DELAGATION APPROVING RUSH'S RECOMMENDATIONS
AND FOLDING IN COOPER'S AS OUTLINED ABOVE.
WARM REGARDS.
