President Clinton has announced that the United States will take a comprehensive approach to the growing global accumulation of fissile material. As an element to that approach, he proposed a multilateral convention banning production of such material for nuclear-explosives purposes or outside international safeguards. This report examines and proposes some next steps to the proposed convention, to further strengthen worldwide control of weapon-usable material. Condition: Very good.
