Nuclear War With Russia Is Still a Danger
“Still on Catastrophe’s Edge” (Commentary, April 26) ended with the comment that “a clear road map for nuclear disarmament should be established.” The road map is in Article VI of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. It calls for an end to the nuclear arms race, nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament “under strict and effective international control.” President Kennedy presented the American-Soviet (McCloy-Zorin) program to achieve that goal in his address to the United Nations on Sept. 25, 1961. When the nations that have signed the NPT meet next year at the seventh NPT review conference, they should agree to implement Article VI with JFK’s program.
