Bucharest 1776
June 6

Ambassador Davis discussed Romania's attitude on the NPT
with Acting Foreign Minister Macovescu June 5. Macovescu indicated
that on June 4 Foreign Minister Manescu, current UNGA President,
had told Amb. Goldberg and Soviet UNGA Chief Delegate Kuznetsov
that Romania has decided "to support" the amended NPT text and
the UNGA resolution backing the treaty. He added all Romanian
diplomatic missions are being instructed to so inform other
governments. In response to Ambassador Davis's query/this meant
Romania would co-sponsor the treaty, Macovescu was unclear.

INR COMMENT: Over the past few months we have noted increasing indications that Romania
having achieved considerable diplomatic mileage out of the NPT negotiations
(mainly in underscoring their independence from the Soviets), was moving to
ward acceptance of an amended treaty during the current UNGA special session.
We understand efforts may now be made to persuade the Romanians to sign the
treaty along with other ENDC members at Geneva.
