Dear Mr. Fedin:
STATINTL
I take pleasure in enclosing the signed copies of the
Record of the First Meeting of the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Joint
Working Committee on Harmonization of Air and Water
Pollution Standards under Area XI of the U.S.-U.S.S.R.
Agreement on Cooperation in the Field of Environmental
Protection. I think that you will agree that the Record
clearly indicates the substantial nature of the dis-
cussions which took place during our joint meeting.
It is our intention that the U.S. delegation will be
prepared to present a tentative plan for a joint work
program for consideration by the Soviet side during the
next joint meeting scheduled to be held in .Moscow around
the end of November 1974. We propose to present you with
our tentative plan for a joint work program well in advance
of the time for our next meeting and hope thereby to pro-;
vide you with a basis for insuring that experts from the
appropriate agencies of the U.S.S.R. will be available to
join with the experts from our side in considering specific
proposed work projects.
In closing, permit me to express the sense of satisfaction
and appreciation of our side for the very useful meeting
with you and the other distinguished members of the Soviet
