No nuclear test in the atmosphere will be undertaken, as the Soviet Union has done, for so-called psychological or political reasons. But should such tests be deemed necessary to maintain our responsibilities for free world security, in the light of our evaluation of Soviet tests, they will be undertaken only to the degree that the orderly & essential scientific development of new weapons has reached a point where effective progress is not possible without such tests. And only within limits that restrict the fallout from such tests to the absolute minimum. In the meantime, as a matter of prudence, we shall make necessary preparations for such tests so as to be ready in case it becomes necessary to conduct them.” Cold War; Threats; JFK; Atomic Weapons; 02Nov61; NOTE: Sold at per reel rate.
