Senate Ratifies Historic Nuclear Test Ban Pact
The Senate approved the limited nuclear test ban treaty by an 80 to 19 vote after weeks of hearings and debate. The pact bans atmospheric, outer space and underwater tests and was urged by the Joint Chiefs of Staff as a defensive step despite objections over Soviet advantages and ongoing underground development. President Kennedy hailed the action as a step toward peace while warning the treaty does not end the threat of nuclear war and will be followed by continued U.S. testing and defense programs.
