Extract from the draft minutes of the joint meeting between the Council and the Committee on Defence Questions and Armaments, held in Luxembourg on 3 November 1970 (London, 13 November 1970)

Text
On 3 November 1970, at the joint meeting between the Council of Western European Union (WEU) and the Assembly Committee on Defence Questions and Armaments, the delegations discuss a reply given by the Council to a question on the strategic arms limitation talks. While the Council is not contemplating French and British participation in the negotiations on strategic arms limitation, which are being held between the United States and the Soviet Union, British and French MPs James Scott and André Beauguitte believe that their countries should take part in the SALT talks once they begin to focus on reducing ceilings of strategic offensive nuclear weapons.
