The American public is unaware of the meaning, or even the nature, of the step that our government is preparing to take on October 31. Que- moy, Lebanon, Algeria: these are sideshows in relation to the act that is about to open in Geneva.
Our government has officially stated that: 1) beginning October 31, when a conference with Soviet representatives will open in Geneva, we will suspend tests of nuclear weapons for at least a year; 2) provided the Soviet Union maintains the ban it announced last spring, we will extend the suspension indefinitely; 3) the first year’s suspension will go into effect no matter what takes place at the Geneva negotiations.
