COMPREHENSIVE NUCLEAR TEST BAN TREATY
WHEREAS, the United States and the Soviet Union are

test explosions of nuclear weapons for all time;" and
WHEREAS, the United States and the Soviet Union are
signatories of the 1968 Nuclear Non - Proliferation Treaty wherein
both nations promised to pursue nuclear disarmament in return for
agreement by the non - nuclear signatories to forego development of
nuclear weapons; and
WHEREAS, the United States and the Soviet Union were able to
conclude the Limited Test Ban treaty of 1963 within two months
after President Kennedy announced that the U. S. would observe a
moratorium on nuclear tests, and the Soviet Union followed suit;
and
WHEREAS, the Soviet Premier has announced that the Soviet

WHEREAS, it is the sense of this Board that halting testing
of nuclear weapons by both countries is a crucial first step
toward ending the arms race between the Soviet Union and the
United States and that ending this arms race is a prerequisite to
restoration of a healthy economy and improvement of the security
of the citizens of Little Rock as well as the other citizens of
both countries.
