Treaty Backers Show Muscle in Test Vote
In a 61 to 30 test vote, Senate backers of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty rejected Sen. Sam Ervin’s reservation that the United States would not have to defend nonnuclear nations from atomic attack. Supporters said the Ervin proposal was unnecessary as the treaty aims to curb spread of nuclear weapons and ratification could come soon. Senate Foreign Relations Chair J. William Fulbright said no commitments were implied and the reservation was not needed.
