BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL

Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES

Evaluation Of U.S. Efforts To Promote

Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is the
world's principal political instrument for con-
trolling the spread of nuclear weapons. How-
ever, more than 50 countries, some with nu-
clear programs, are not party to the Treaty.

The United States is using diplomatic initiatives
and incentives such as technical assistance to
encourage more nations to become Treaty par-
ties. Principal objections of key nations include
claims that the Treaty discriminates against
non-nuclear weapon states and could ad-
versely affect their peaceful nuclear programs
and endanger their national security and that
nuclear weapons states have not aggressively
pursued disarmament.

In August 1980, the second conference of
party states will be held to review the opera-
tion of the Treaty. This report discusses some
of the issues that will be raised.
