Notes
1. The United States provided covert technical guidance to France's nuclear weapons program beginning in 1974 (in apparent contravention of US law until at least 1985), but France was not part of NATO's defense structure at the time. See Richard H. Ullman, “The Covert French Connection,” Foreign Policy 75 (Summer 1989), pp. 3–33; and Charles Mohr, “U.S. Secretly Helped France Develop Nuclear Weapons, an Expert Writes,” New York Times, May 28, 1989, <www.nytimes.com/1989/05/28/world/us-secretly-helped-france-develop-nuclear-weapons-an-expert-writes.html>.
