Seaborg Faces Sharp Questioning Over Nuclear Test Pact
Dr. Seaborg told a three committee group that the pact carries minor risks but improves national security if approved. He argued public support exists for the treaty and urged future talks with Britain and Russia to permit above ground peaceful uses of nuclear energy. He noted limits on new mega ton weapons and that the U S already tested weapons around 15 megatons while Russia claims over 50 megatons. He favored many smaller bombs over single ultra large devices. Defense Secretary McNamara and Secretary of State Rusk backed the treaty as a security step. Senator Hickenlooper pressed for clarity on peaceful use limits and underground testing details.
