American disarmament plan faces delays at United Nations
Myko notes that the American control proposal is not fully in conformity with the General Assembly disarmament resolution. He seeks more time to study the plan while most commission members back the proposal. Gromyko cites Chinese and Polish support for delaying, warning it could threaten unanimity among major powers. Baruch laments the holidays delays as the plan awaits action. The proposal would ban creation, possession, and use of atomic weapons, require destruction of stocks, and mandate reports of violations to a central authority and the Security Council.
