RUM-A Authority limb $m Wk CONFIDENTIAL Extension of Takai Mura Meeting with Minister Sumiya Minister Sumiya is coming to convey the GOJ response on one aspect of our proposal for extending the Tokai agreement until April 30 1981 The issue that Sumiya wishes to raise relates to the oral understanding that we have suggested stating that Japan w ma no major moves toward the second reprocessing plant including specifically acquisition of a site during the period of the extension We have pro- posed that an oral understanding to this effect be included in the extension for several reasons The no major moves provision is in the present agreement and we wish to make asfew changes as possible in or er to facilitate Congressional acceptance o _the extension We understand that the Japanese do not intend to acguire a site until at least 1982 so not infringe on its program Ramayal of this restriction might well be interpreted at home and abroad as US ac uiesence in commercial sca reprocessing in Japan without condition It wouId be Highly prefgga ave this issue reso ve in the broader context of reachin a reement with Japan'B 'Ehch acilities We do not know what specific problems the Japanese might have but we are of course prepared to consider what ever they have to say The Japanese do not appear to have any significant problems with other aspects of the extension agreement we have proposed but Counselor Togo plans to discuss with Lou Nosenzo after your meeting some suggested language changes the Japanese have in the draft note we gave them Attached is the cable transmitting our
