PART IV - REVISION OF POLICY
NSC 5507/2, dated March 12, 1955, developed in the months follbwing
the approval of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and now over two yeark old,
established policies under which the United States has been able to
develop broad and effective programs of international cooperation ih the
peaceful uses of atomic energy -- both bilaterally and miltilaterally.
It is no criticism of NSC 5507/2 to note that many of its provision are
now outdated and that the dynamic situation which has developed threughout
the world indicates the need for thorough revision.
It is therefor¢
recomended that such a revision, under direction from the National
Security Council, be drafted by the Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission,
and the Secretary, Department of State, for submission to the Councj1
under procedures and time schedules to be developed in consultation jwith
the National Security Council Planning Board.
