(NSG) Policy Statement on Civil Nuclear Cooperation with 
India (reftel) September 20 to NSG expert in MFA's Security 
Department (DVBR), Mikhail Kondratenkov.  Kondratenkov

Rozhkov right away.

knowing the anticipated timing for the release of the draft

expected MFA would be able to get back to us with further 
comments by October 1, as requested.
