International Inspection
United Nations.—Complete and continuing inspection by international personnel, including aerial and ground surveys, and inspection of atomic facilities.
Soviet Union.—Periodic inspection of declared plants. Special investigations when there exist “grounds for suspicion”—not that the control agreement has been violated—but that the convention outlawing atomic weapons has been violated. (This could mean that only if a nation were subjected to surprise atomic attack would the necessary “grounds for suspicion” enter into existence.)
International ownership and management
United Nations.—International ownership or management of dangerous facilities and international ownership of source materials and their fissionable derivatives—in order to prevent diversion of such material from existing plants.
Soviet Union.—Complete opposition to international ownership or management provisions.
Strategic balance (quotas)
United Nations.—National quotas to be incorporated into international control treaty.
Soviet Union.—Sees in quotas an instrument for “American domination.”
