Nixon Holds NSC Talk on Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty
President Nixon convened the National Security Council at the White House to discuss timing for Senate ratification of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty.

He also visited the House, recalling his start in national politics 22 years ago, and met with Secretary of State Rogers after a conference with AEC Chair Seaborg, who agreed to stay on through June 30, 1970.
