US May Resume Testing After Soviet Notice
Washington reports that the United States may resume testing after Soviet representatives informed in New York that they wished to call off further tests following the Geneva talks on February 12. Secretary of State Rusk stressed two points at his first post holiday briefing. He said regrets over Canada’s nuclear weapons policy statement, but noted it was necessary due to Ottawa’s public debate of secret talks. He added that if Soviet troops remain in Cuba, Washington must consider enforcing Kennedy’s warning against a prolonged Soviet military presence.
