CONTINUOUS MONITORING AT VOTKINSK
REF: STATE 84678
Classified By: Acting Political M/C David Kostelancik. Reasons 1.4 (b)
and (d).
(S) On August 14 we delivered reftel nonpaper to MFA DVBR
Director for Strategic Capabilities Policy Vladimir Yermakov,
who reiterated to us the GOR's position that all USG
facilities at Votkinsk should be removed December 5. This
meant, according to Yermakov, that the U.S. should begin
moving out of Votkinsk in September. "There is not much
time," he said. He added that the GOR interagency process
would consider the reftel nonpaper and prepare a response.
