State Department telegram 222114 to U.S. Embassy Paris, 'Nuclear Suppliers Meeting'

This document was made possible with support from Carnegie Corporation of New York (CCNY)

This document reflects that while full-scope safeguards had wide support in the group, both the French and the West German remained opposed. The Carter administration tried to persuade the French but they were worried about being "isolated" in the group and talked about withdrawing or opposing further meetings because the NSG had “fully achieved” its objectives. Washington persuaded Paris not to withdraw, but the group’s future was plainly uncertain.
