Carter Calls For Instant Halt To All Nuclear Testing
President Carter urges an instant and complete halt to all nuclear testing as part of a plan to curb nuclear weapons spread and ban them globally. He hints at possible Soviet agreement, backs rapid SALT ratification, and seeks reductions by both superpowers toward a world with fewer atomic weapons. He also signals no moratorium on strategic arms sales and aims for a quick, comprehensive test ban including underground tests. He predicts a likely Middle East peace conference this year.
