Before considering evolving relations between the United States and the Atlantic Community, it is useful to examine briefly the meaning of the words "Atlantic Community," a term that means different things to different people. It has no agreed definition because it is still a concept and not yet an institution. It purports to be geographically descriptive. However, when one considers the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which is generally regarded as the most important institutional reflection of a community of interests between the European and North American countries bordering the Atlantic basin, one finds Italy, Greece, and Turkey are members while Spain and Eire, both Atlantic countries, are absent. Similarly, if one looks at the membership of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which is another institution generally regarded as reflecting common interests of the "Atlantic Community," one finds that all the NATO members belong as well as Eire, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, and Spain. Although there are political reasons to account for all this confusion, at the present time the term "Atlantic Community" connotes neither an agreed geographic area nor a specific group of countries.

InThe last days of its life, the 85th Congress gave its approval to the joint United States-Euratom research and power reactor program, in the legislation known as the Euratom Cooperation Act of 1958. This law provides that the United States will assist the European Atomic Community in attaining its goal of a total installed capacity of approximately 1 million kilowatts of electricity by December 31, 1963, by bringing into operation power plants using nuclear reactors. In addition, the legislation authorizes an initial appropriation of $3,000,000 for a cooperative research and development program, and provides for sale or lease to the Community of fissionable uranium 235 and one kilogram of plutonium. This law was implemented by the agreement for cooperation containing provisions for financing, which entered into force on February 18, 1959. This legislation marked the high point of American collaboration with the latest institution of the European Community. As such, it is a logical point of departure for recapitulating the current status of that Community and its relations with the United States.

Associated with the 6 European countries in the European Econ Community (EEC), or Common Market, are a number of independent states in Africa & Madagascar. At the time of the negotiation of the Treaty of Rome, these states were, for the most part, dependent overseas territories of the European countries - esp of France, who had to reconcile her membership in the EEC with the econ system in operation between metropolitan France & the overseas dependencies. The system of association which became part of the Treaty of Rome was designed to establish a commercial preference for the benefit of the associated countries & territories & to assist them in their infrastructural SE development through investment aid from the Community. During the first 5-yr period of the Common Market, 1958-1962, many of the associated territories became sovereign & independent states. In 1962 negotiations took place in Brussels among the gov's of the associated states in Africa & Madagascar & the 6. Just before the end of the yr, a convention - undoubtedly an improvement over the previous system - was initiated. The challenge which now faces the EEC is whether or not the system provided under the new convention can be extended to other countries in Africa & the West Indies. AA.
