Mr. Strauss observed that since a quorum of the Commissioners
was not presented no decision could be made. He suggested that the
Commissioners be contacted individually to determine their views.
He added that a Commigsion meeting to consider Mr. Stassen's
proposal might be held on April 6, provided that the President's
Special Disarmament Committee had not met prior to that time,
Mr. Foster called the Commission’s attention to the
proposed transfer to IAEA of fissionable material from past
production in addition to committing all future production to
peaceful purposes. He observed that this language differed
from the Commission sponsored language in the President's
letter to Premier Bulganin which had stated that future production
would not be used to increase the stockpile of explosive weapons,
Mr. Strauss said that this difference should be called to Mr. Stassen’s
attention,
W. B, McCool
