The Cold War Is Over, But Cold

The Present Basic Philosophy Is Nuclear Deterrence.

If The Militarily Most Powerful And Least Threatened States Need Nuclear Weapons For Their Security, How Can One Deny Such Security To Countries That Are Truly Insecure? The Present Nuclear Policy Is A Recipe For Proliferation. It Is A Policy For Disaster.

Let Me Remind You That Nuclear Disarmament Is Not Just An Ardent Desire Of The People, As Expressed In Many Resolutions Of The United Nations. It Is A Legal Commitment By The Five Official Nuclear States, Entered Into When They Signed The Non-proliferation Treaty.

At A Time When Science Plays Such A Powerful Role In The Life Of Society, When The Destiny Of The Whole Of Mankind May Hinge On The Results Of Scientific Research, It Is Incumbent On All Scientists To Be Fully Conscious Of That Role, And Conduct Themselves Accordingly.

My Third Appeal Is To My Fellow Citizens In All Countries: Help Us To Establish Lasting Peace In The World.
