UN General Assembly
1948

Thus, there were no doubts left in anybody’s mind that the Government of the United States wanted to place its hands on the sources of raw materials in other countries, with the aid of the so-called international control body where the United States expected to be backed by its own majority. At the same time the United States refused to place its own atomic enterprises under international control, together with all the other enterprises and sources of raw materials. It was clear that such a way of putting the question was intended to provide the United States with an unlimited possibility of further uncontrolled production of atomic bombs. The USSR maintained that a properly organized international control body should exercise control over the production of atomic energy in all its stages, beginning with the production of raw materials, up to and including the output of manufactured goods.
