Presented in chronological order these documents highlight the gradual evolution of the high-level political process away from debates about nuclear sharing based on Allied ownership and control of the nuclear forces and more toward a consultative approach to nuclear policy. The Nuclear Planning Group NPG is NATO's principal body for planning discussing and deciding on matters relating to nuclear policy. The NPG was founded on 14 December 1966 when the Defence Planning Committee in Ministerial Session accepted the recommendation of the Special Committee of Defence Ministers chaired by Robert McNamara of the United States to establish a consultative process on nuclear doctrine within NATO. Ministers implemented these recommendations by creating the Nuclear Defence Affairs Committee which included all NATO members and the NPG which was restricted to nations participating in NATO's integrated military structure and was mandated to carry out detailed work on nuclear issues. In order to facilitate the NPG's work only seven nations sat on the Group at any one time. The United States United Kingdom Italy and West Germany were permanent members while appointments to the other three NPG seats lasted for one year and rotated amongst the eligible nations.
