U.S.-Soviet A-Test Talks Begin
Associated Press
GENEVA —
The United States and Soviet Union began talks on nuclear test issues today that each claims to have initiated.
Washington seeks verifiable compliance with treaties signed in 1974 and 1976 that limit the strength of nuclear tests for military and civilian purposes to 150 kilotons, and the Kremlin wants testing banned. Both sides agreed to confidentiality in the talks and the U.S. spokesman, Christopher Henze, would not disclose details. The discussions are expected to last two or three weeks.
