Eisenhower Seeks Drastic Amendment to Atomic Laws
Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower urged a drastic amendment to U.S. atomic energy laws to aid the NATO crisis. He said the move would give the administration more flexibility in nuclear talks with allies amid De Gaulle’s NATO pullout and the French demand for forces off French soil. He noted past attempts to sell nuclear weapons to NATO partners and spoke of France as a partner within NATO planning. The views were conveyed in a letter to Sen. Henry M. Jackson and Rep. Edna P. Kelly.
