[Reproduced from United Nations Document A/7072 (March 19, 1968). On April 24, 1968, the U.N. General Assembly agreed that the First Committee (Political and Security) would discuss the Report submitted by the Conference of the Eighteen-Nation Committee on Disarmament. As of the end of May, 1968, the Committee was still considering the draft treaty contained in the Report. On May 31, 1968, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed to certain changes in the draft treaty which are reflected throughout the text appearing at page 564. Additions appear in brackets as footnotes; deletions have been lined out. [The January 18, 1968 draft of the non-proliferation treaty appears at 7 International Legal Materials 155 (1968).]
