disarmament subcommittee a word plan for full-scale conventional and nuclear disarmament to 1 be completed by the end of 1959. Western cbservers said the plan appeared to a. summation of previous Soviet proposals with some slight, and possibly important, differences. The differences included: 1.

2. A paraphrase of a previous Russian proposal on the limits within which Russia would agree to aerial inspection in Central Europe. The aerial inspection plan was first advanced in 1955 by President Eisenhower who proposed the Soviet Union and the United States exchange aerial reconnaissance as a first step in disarmament. Russia previously had suggested that aerial inspection be permitted up to a depth of 500 miles on either side of a line, then undefined, in Central Europe. new proposal submitted Russian Delegate Valerian Zorin repeated the 500-mile limit but also referred to its coverage of "vast areas of Europe" in which NATO and Warsaw Pact forces are stationed.
