United States and Britain press U.N. on test ban talks
The United States and Britain urged the U.N. General Assembly to pressure the Soviet Union to resume negotiations for a nuclear test ban with effective controls. They proposed a resolution to renew talks aimed at concluding a treaty stopping nuclear and thermonuclear tests at the earliest possible time. France did not sponsor, as only the U.S., Britain, and the U.S.S.R. had engaged in talks. The Soviet eight point plan sought to address disarmament and colonialism while Kennedy urged immediate actions, including a possible nuclear test ban treaty.
