...would agree to an end to nuclear testing, would not insist on an end at the same time to production of nuclear materials for weapons. Dulles stood aside while Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Nathan Twining turned down the proposal, backed by AEC Chairman Lewis Strauss, Treasury Secretary Robert Anderson-and Dwight Eisenhower. Where the defeat left Honest Harold, no one was sure. Powerful Administration staffers hoped he would quit rather than be fired.
