A no less important problem is that of the non-use for military purposes of nuclear materials which become available as a result of nuclear disarmament agreements. As a first step, we could discuss appropriate machinery for monitoring this measure and start scientific and technical investigation of the possibilities of using such material for peaceful purposes.

One of those directions, in our view, might be the discussion of the idea of a multilateral agreement between all the nuclear Powers on measures to reduce the risk of the outbreak of nuclear war, as well as on the establishment of national nuclear risk reduction centres by all the nuclear Powers.

We view with interest the suggestions to consider naval problems at the Conference. The USSR delegation has already expressed itself on the nuclear aspects of these problems. The topic is a special one. But it is time to begin talking about it more broadly too. Let this work be informal; so to say "prenegotiating" in nature.
