 us. Ambassador Arthur Dean suggested the conference set up q group of experts to study the prob lem of denolishing all stockpiles of mass destruction weapons.

 Zorin charged that the West, in insisting on control posts in Soviet territory, was seeking to obtain in formation on Soviet military tar gets. He reiterated that such inter- natiullai enforcement arrangements will never be allowed by the Soviet Union.
 Dean said the Soviet nuclear tests last autumn had taken the world by surprise and must have been prepared we'll in advance.
 
 This is one of the reasons, he said, why the uinted States is not prepared to take any Soviet test ban pledges on trust and insists on international control provisions.
