United States Drops Demand for Inspections at Soviet Sites
In Geneva the United States abandoned a push for American inspection of Soviet facilities as part of a bid to halt nuclear weapon production. Adrian Fisher urged a 17-nation pact to stop fissionable material production, offering to swap 60,000 kilos of enriched uranium for 40,000 kilos from the Soviets, with IAEA supervision in Vienna. The U S had previously demanded mutual inspections, a point the Russians opposed as a spying risk.
