SENT DEPT ACTEL 29. RPTD INFO BONN 23 (EYES ONLY FOR MCCLOY)
FOR THE PRESIDENT FROM THE SECRETARY.
In my message to you of 23 November I reported that Eden,
Schuman and I had failed reach agreement in Paris on ques -
tion of type and extent of continued restriction on produc-
tion of military items in Germany o The three of us have met
here in Rome twice on this subject but likewise were unable
to agree
Background of the problem is as follows:
Since the war the production of military equipment and imple -
ments of war have been prohibited in Germany by tripartite
decree. At Brussels last year when we agreed that Germany wld
have the opportunity to participate in defense, we also agreed
upon a list of implements of war which would continue be pro-
hibited in Germany There remained question for some time as
to whether these items were to be the only restrictions on
German industry In Washington conferences of last September
we reached agreements with some difficulty with French, that
Brussels list would be the only restrictions to be retained,
and that these would be retained not (rpt not) by decree but
by contractual agreement with Germans This list was as follows:
(a) Atomic weapons
(b)
Biological weapons
F.R. OR U.S. 1951 VEL. III
