Discussion of State Department Negotiating Tactics Paper
The negotiating tactics paper, as revised at this meeting, met with the
approval of all members.
Discussion
This paper consisted of a memorandum to the Chairman of the Executive Com-
mittee from the State Department member,entitled "China Trade Controls" and,
attached thereto, an "Outline for U.S. Proposal for Revision China Trade
Controls". The State member pointed out that this paper is a check list of
the points that should be included in the approach to the participating coun-
tries when the U.S. proposal for the revision of China trade controls is pre-
sented to them. It is included as EDAC D-127/6f in the package being prepared
for EDAC consideration.
2. Consideration of Executive Committee transmittal to EDAC
Decision
?v~
The transmittal memorandum, entitled "Proposal for Implementing Paragraph 21
of NSC 5704/1", as revised at this meeting, was approved by all members.
This memorandum describes the papers which have been prepared for EDAC con-
sideration on the revision of China trade controls. It also requests that
EDAC determine which sectors and items should constitute the U.S. position and
to consider and approve an outline of negotiating tactics. It will serve as the
cover memorandum to the entire package presented to EDAC (EDAC Dm127/6g).
3, Question of forum into which U.S. proposal should be introduced
The Executive Committee agreed that differences of view with respect to the
forum into which the U.S. proposal should be introduced made it necessary to
have a resolution of the problem before an EDAC meeting is held to review the
reference papers. Therefore, it was understood that the Department of State
would let the other agencies know when it has taken a position on this matter
or, if it so desires, put the matter before EDAC for consultation and advice.
Discussion
The forum into which the U.S. proposal for the revision of China trade controls
should be introduced was discussed. Some members felt that it should be put
directly into the Consultative Group, and others felt that it should be intro-
duced into CHINCOM until proper focus could be put on the policy aspects that
would have to have Consultative Group settlement.
