Eisenhower backs international atomic control plan
President Eisenhower said he will continue pursuing international control of atomic energy even if the Soviet Union rejects his proposal. He indicated no changes to the atomic energy act would be sought that would endanger scientific progress or the building of atomic weapons. He suggested the United Nations plan for a limited program of research and peacetime power development, and noted possible changes in law might be needed to share information with allies, while reserving decision on weapon transfers to wartime circumstances.
