Nuclear Tests Ordered For US Britain by Kennedy
President Kennedy ordered preparations to resume underground nuclear tests by the United States and Britain. Disarmament Chief Foster said the U S would stay ready to test as a national policy even if a test ban is agreed. Secretary Rusk noted only slight progress toward a ban and rejected high hopes for an early agreement. He also described the Soviet offer of on site inspections as non negotiable. Foster later said test ban hazards were weighed against benefits and that ending testing would favor the United States.
