GIST: Romanians Indicate They Are Ready "To Support" Amended NPT And UNGA Resolution DATE: June 6 TIME: 1200 COMMENTS CONTAINED IN INR BRIEFING NOTES ARE INITIAL AND TENTATIVE. SOURCE(S) CLASS./CONTROL(S) 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. INR OFFICE RSB BRIEFER RH Provick EXTENSION 3803
