MOSCOW SEEKS UN ACCORD ON NON-PROLIFERATION OF ROCKETS.
Russian officials said on 16 February that Moscow plans to
raise at the UN the issue of creating a global system to
prevent the proliferation of rockets and rocket technologies,
Interfax reported. Experts from 70 countries discussed the
idea in Moscow on 15 February, the news service said, but
unlike last year, when 48 countries took part in such
discussions, the U.S. did not. PG
