Report on a visit to SNIAS headquarters at Châtillon and on an agreed quantitative measure of control of production at the SNIAS factory at Bourges (Paris, 11 September 1975)

Text
On 11 September 1975, the Head of Division II of the Agency for the Control of Armaments (ACA) sends a document to the Director containing comments on the report on the mission to SNIAS (Société nationale industrielle aérospatiale) in Châtillon and to the SNIAS factory in Bourges on 21 and 22 May 1975. The Head of Division notes that the request to see the Pluton missile was refused, even though it had not been included in the French response to the ACA questionnaire. In general the mission went well, despite the fact that the establishments had been given less than 24 hours warning that the visits would be taking place. This affected the preparation of production figures and so should be avoided in future since a successful inspection relies on both national members and heads of missions.
