U S Presses Ban on Transfer of Nuclear Arms
At the Geneva disarmament conference the United States urged the Soviet Union to join in an immediate declaration banning transfer of nuclear weapons to non nuclear nations. William C Foster outlined a five point program to curb spread including international control of fissile materials and plutonium. He tied the move to the Irish resolution urging a treaty to prevent states from relinquishing control of nuclear weapons. The Soviet delegation has not yet replied, insisting a treaty requires ending the seaborne multilateral nuclear force proposal.
