Financing Safeguards Under the Treaty 



Financing was discussed by the U.S. delegation at the 14th session of 

 the IAEA General Conference in September 1970. AEC Chairman 

 Seaborg said that the United States attached great importance to the 

 principle of financing Agency safeguards costs under the Agency's 

 regular budget, which would spread the costs among all members. 

 Nonetheless, the United States recognized that there was room for 

 difference of opinion as to the relative weight to be given to factors 

 used to determine the participation of each Agency member in meeting 

 these costs, and the United States would play an "active and construc- 

 tive role" in the discussion of the matter. 360 



Putting the costs of safeguards into the IAEA's regular budget 

 offered the advantage of lower national outlays by the nuclear power 

 countries, for the safeguards costs would be shared by nations not yet 

 using nuclear power. The developing countries were quick to protest. 

 At the summer 1970 session of the Safeguards Committee, a spirited 

 debate on financing took place. The developing countries objected to 

 the idea that costs of safeguards should be shared by all members. 361 

 Delegates from nations with small or no nuclear programs argued that 

 those members who were using nuclear power should bear the costs of 

 safeguards. On their part, the nuclear nations argued that all member 

 states should pay in proportion to their contributions to the IAEA
