US officials see little hope for nuclear spread ban talks in Geneva
At the 17 nation disarmament conference in Geneva the US delegation reports virtually no chance a treaty halting nuclear spread will be signed this year. Factors cited include China's hostility to nonproliferation, France's hesitance, and regional security fears. NATO issues and West German participation also complicate prospects, pushing the US to focus on other measures through August ahead of a UN General Assembly report on September 20.
