therein at any time during the five years preceding the coming inte

force of this Treaty.

3. The declaration shall contain a general description of each

facility listed, and shall give its exact location.

2. Upon the coming into force of this Treaty, each of the two

Verifying Parties shall be entitled to verify the implementation of this

for power, propulsion and other peaceful uses, the inspectors shall be

entitled to verify on a continuous basis that no materials are being

diverted for use in weapons. Where the productive capacity of a

facility is small, periodic inspection may, at the discretion of the

inspectors, be substituted for continuous one.

2. The inspected Party shall have the option in each case either

to allow the Verifying Party to inspect the inside of the main buildings

of the facility, or to permit the establishment of check points around

all the shipments to and from the facility. If the facillty is suspected

the smoke from its smoke stacks and the water flowing from it.

Article V

The Parties to this Ireaty shall adopt such internal

the inspectoys to perform their duties in an effective manner.

2. In conducting inspections, the inspectors shall have due

regard for all rights of personal privacy and private property, taking

rights would infringe the property rights of U.S. citizens and corp-

orations, having no business with the U.S. government. We can grant

access to government facilities and facilities utilized under government

contract but not private facilities. (Reference, written legal opinion
