SUBJECT:.. IG on IAEA Reassessment: November 2.Meeting
Undersecretary Kennedy opened the meeting by noting
that the seriousness with which the US is undertaking
the reassessment is.becoming understood. For=example,=-
in our meeting with UK representatives on November 1, we
convinced them that the US would definitely not be.returning
to full participation in time-for the Technical 'Assistance
Committee meeting in late November. The basic problem is to
effect a change of attitude on the part of the Secretariat
and a majority of the member states such that we obtain
their commitment to adhere to the fundamental principles of
-the Agency's charter. In addition to its leading role in
the safeguards area, the US must play up its key role in the
other areas, such as safety, which comprise 70% of the agency's
activities. Finally, we need specific steps the: US can
undertake in the next few weeks to promote the needed change
in attitude--for example, what can be done at the UNGA and
in capitals.
There followed a specific discussion of the draft
strategy paper looking at the shorter and longer term
problems and strategies. Mr..Kennedy solicited written
comments on this paper to assist in'the prepar}ation'of a
new draft. He concluded by emphasizing the need to keep
the Congress fully and currently informed, and by requesting
that OES conduct another briefing session for interested
staffers soon.
