Mallaby, C. L. G.

Mallaby outlines the UK position on South African accession to the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Mallaby summaries actions taken in response to accusations that South Africa is preparing to test a nuclear device.

Mallaby addresses Sir David Scott's 6 October letter concerning the possible South African nuclear test site in the Kalahari desert.

Mallaby reports on a conversation at the Nuclear Suppliers Meeting with the US Deputy Under-Secretary for Security Assistance, Nye, on whether the US would raise the issue of South Africa's Kalahari nuclear testing facility. The US assumption was that the South Africans intended to "be on the brink of having a nuclear weapons capability" in order to "moderate Western diplomatic pressure on her about racial and other issues."
