Secretary of State Dean Rusk pressed the Senate to ratify the nuclear test ban treaty saying marginal risks are far less than a continued arms race with Russia. He testified before three committees, under oath, after returning from the Soviet Union and West Germany. He warned the pact does not oblige recognition of East Germany and preserves U S vetoes on security issues while allowing verification and possible cheating checks. The hearings continue with further testimony from Defense Secretary McNamara and others.
