Abstract
In the final stage of the negotiations British influence on the United States was modest. It was confined to shaping American views of the negotiations regarding the content of overall tariff reduction packages the United States were prepared to negotiate with the Community. Although there is evidence of major shifts in US policy on the grains issue and non-grains agriculture, these shifts were not the result of British influence and are best explained by changes in the American decision-making process, namely increased White House involvement through the creation of a Command Group in Washington led by National Security Council aide Francis Bator.
