UN General Assembly
1967

92. That a consensus between major Powers is possible, even when the subject matter is difficult and complex, Is evident from the near-completion of a draft non-proliferation treaty. The attention of all of us is now directed towards current efforts aimed at a speedy presentation of that treaty. My delegation earnestly hopes that the Soviet Union and the United States will be able to submit the full text of such a draft treaty before this session of the Assembly Is over and that it will cover the question of safeguards. My Government would greatly value a treaty based on effective inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency and believes such a treaty could be implemented without being contrary to the provisions of the Euratom Treaty. On our part we will do everything to promote such fundamental agreement with respect to the as yet unwritten article on inspection.
