Sir,

It is quite true that we had convinced the Canadians not to have any formal agreements on safeguards for the reactors(CIRUS?) spent fuel rods.The Canadians were told that the spent fuel rods would be used only for peacefull purposes.

(Sir, even today we maintain that the 1974 explosion was a PNE.

)

So no written agreement was violated.
