Official Note, 'To Embassies in Moscow Regarding the Opening of the NPT for Signing'

This document was made possible with support from Carnegie Corporation of New York (CCNY)

The Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially invites foreign countries to send their representatives to sign the NPT in Moscow on July 1. While detailing the exact times and places at which the treaty will be signed, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs makes a distinction between representatives with formal credentials and temporary credentials. Those with temporary credentials may sign the treaty, but their signature will later be replaced with that of a representative with the correct credentials. As stated in the document, Andrei Gromyko is chosen to sign the treaty in the name of the USSR.
