safety fuses guarding against misinterpretation of actions by the other side in the event of a sharp deterioration in the military confron~ation . A number of States, first of all the neutral States, propose that agreement should be reached on exchanging annual plans of military activities subject to notification. The Soviet Union is ready for such an agreement, hopng that it can help to overcome suspicion and will make it more difficult to conduct secret preparations for war. Our approach to the issue of verification or controls is equally consistent and constructive. The Soviet Union was the first to express readiness to implement strict and effective control in conditions of general and complete disarmament , and proposals were made for the creation of an international control organization. Measures of control that ensure confidence in compliance by States with their commitments form a fundamental part of all our disarmament proposals, being fully in agreement with the central principle of control which calls for measures of control to be commensurate with arms limitation measures and it has been recorded in a number of universally recognized international instruments, including the Final Document of the first special session of the General Assembly devoted to disarmament. The USSR is no less interested in reliable and effective verification than any other State. The least that can be said about those who claim the contrary and try to put this in doubt is that they have the wrong address. The practice of JVM/9 A/C.l/40/PV.5 34-35 (Mr. Petrovsky, USSR) negotiations, including the Soviet-United States talks,· has shown that when there is a genuine will to come to an agreement the issue of control is not an obstacle. when there is interest in concluding agreements and a political will to do so, the demand for "super-reliable", "150 per cent proof" of verification is not made.
