APPENDIX 4 MEMORANDUM ON COOPERATION WITH THE U.S.S.R. STATE COMMITTEE ON UTILIZATION OF ATOMIC ENERGY, INCLUDING PROVISIONS FOR JOINT PROJECTS IN HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS U.S. ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION, Mr. EDWARD J. BAUSER, Executive Director, Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, DEAR MR. BAUSER: My letter of February 7, 1970, informed the Joint Committee of the negotiation of a new Memorandum on Cooperation with the USSR State Committee on Utilization of Atomic Energy. A copy of the Memorandum as initialed following review by the Department of State is enclosed. Section VI of the Memorandum provides for joint projects in high energy physics under terms and conditions to be established in a Special Protocol. Our objective under this section is to obtain access for U.S. scientists to the 70 BeV accelerator at the Serpukhov High Energy Physics Institute. Our position with respect to such joint projects remains as stated in Dr. Seaborg's letter of November 12, 1969, to Mr. Holifield. Professor Petrosyants has invited the Commission to send representatives to Moscow in March 1970 to discuss arrangements for the conduct of joint projects in high energy physics, and we have accepted that invitation. A group headed by Dr. A. S. Friedman, Deputy Director, Division of International Affairs, will participate in these discussions which are expected to start on March 15. The group will also include Prof. W. K. H. Panofsky, Director, Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Stanford University, and Dr. Thomas Fields, Director, High Energy Physics Division, Argonne National Laboratory. Prof. D. Drickey, UCLA, will also be in Moscow for technical discussions of a Pi-e experiment which is being proposed for the Serpukhov accelerator. We will keep the Joint Committee informed of developments in this matter. Sincerely, MYRON B. KRATZER, Assistant General Manager for International Activities. Enclosure: Memorandum on Cooperation. ANNEX No. III Memorandum on cooperation in the peaceful uses of atomic energy between the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and the USSR State Committee for the Utilization of Atomic Energy pursuant to the Agreement between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on exchanges in the scientific, technical, educational, cultural, and other fields in 1970-1971. The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and the USSR State Committee for the Utilization of Atomic Energy; Bearing in mind the cooperation implemented to date in the field of peaceful uses of atomic energy; Recalling Section II (1) (c.) of the Agreement between the USA and the USSR on exchanges in the scientific, technical, educational, cultural, and other fields in 1970-1971, signed at Washington on February 10, 1970; Have agreed upon the following arrangements and procedures for carrying out reciprocal exchanges in the course of 1970–1971; I. EXCHANGE OF DELEGATIONS For the purpose of studying scientific and technical achievements in the peaceful uses of atomic energy in the USA and the USSR, the Parties agree to conduct exchanges of delegations to visit scientific establishments in the USA and the USSR on an agreed and reciprocal basis in the following fields: 1. Design and utilization of charged-particle accelerators, and also the fabrication of equipment for experimental work in accelerators. 2. Controlled thermonuclear reactions and plasma physics. 3. Nuclear reactors and atomic power stations. 4. Radiation chemistry. 5. Industrial process radiation. 6. Radiation processed foods. |
