Rusk Holds Talks With French Ambassador on Nuclear Ties
Secretary of State Dean Rusk met with French Ambassador Hervé Alphand in two sessions to discuss Paris Washington policy gaps. They gave no sign of bridging De Gaulle's push for an independent French nuclear force and a looser US tied European bloc. Rusk reinforced US opposition to a French nuclear capability and Britain arming France. He also challenged critics to offer an alternative policy path amid Cold War tension. Senator Barry Goldwater accused the administration of a no win policy, a charge Rusk dismissed while stressing cautious victory through alliance building and trade expansion.
