Teller Warns Ban Ratification Would Be Tragic Mistake
Dr. Edward Teller told U S Senate that the Soviet Union seeks the limited nuclear test ban treaty to block U S defense gains and that ratification would be a tragic mistake. He warned failure to ratify now would be a small diplomatic error but not endanger U S security, while ratification could provoke greater risk. Teller cited Soviet atmospheric tests in 1961 and argued Khrushchev seeks to stop atmospheric tests and prevent U S progress in antimissile defense knowledge.
