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
