FOREWORD
The present publication contains basic documents on arms control
and disarmament developments in 1975 and is the latest in a series of
volumes that have been issued annually since 1960. The work of the
United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency in 1975 is de­
scribed in its 15th annual report (see Bibliography).
The papers are arranged in chronological order, following a topical
list of documents and lists of abbreviations and conferences. Other
reference aids may be found at the back of the volume. These include a
bibliography, a list of persons, and an index. The papers were compiled
by Robert W. Lambert and R. William Nary with the assistance of Jean
Mayer and Ruth Ihara. Useful suggestions were also received from
other officers of the United States Arms Control and Disarmament
Agency.
The Editorial Services Branch of the Publishing and Reproduction
Division, Department of State, was responsible for the technical edit­
ing of this volume.
