by Mr, Murray, Generel Starbird said that AEC 787/34 did not
Specifically state that no Resizicted Data relating to thermo-
nuclear weapons, except effects infcrrmation,
would be transmitted
to the U.K, and Canadian observers. He pcinted out, howevex,
that transmittal of such information wes prohibited unless
jointly agreed uponby the Commiéesion and the DOD, and said
that the Commission had previously declined to make sucha
joint determination, (See minutes of Meeting 1137.) Mr. Murray
then suggested that the Commission specify that no Restricted
Data concerning thermonuclear weapons, except effects information, would be included in the briefing for the U.K, and
Canadian observers,
After further discussion, and subject to Mr, Strauss’
concurrence, the Commission;
a, Concurred in the use of the proposed briefing
material (Appendix ''B*' as modified by paragraph
3 of AEC 787/34) for briefing U.K.-Canadian observers

b. Noted that no Restricted Data on thermoruclear
weapons, except effects information which does n-t
reveal any design or fabrication i:formation concerning
thermonuclear weapons, will be disclosed during the
briefing for U.K. and Canadian observers; and

of this action by a letter such as Appendix ‘'C*’, to
AEC 787/34 revised in accoriznce with b above.
