SUBJECT: Comments on Draft 'vltorking Paper Partial Provisions
i am uncertain concerning the Soviet reaction to the formula
contained in the May 20, draft. it may be too obviously a formula
to satisfy the propaganda position that they have built up on this point.
On the other hand. I doubt very much that they would let this one point
stand between them and an agreement. otherwise acceptable to them,
It seems that the draft adequately provides foz the esaentiai
items in United States policy. I particularly like the formulation in
paragraph (f ~ which permits the use of nuclear weapons in "individual
or collective self-defense ".

2. In discussing the inspection provisions it might be worth malciag
the point that the U. S. has many other sources of information and
that the U. S. would base its future decisions on all the information
aL its disposal -- not just on the information obtained from the
inspection system.
