...nation treaty to create an International Atomic Energy Agency, key element in Ike's 1953 atoms-for-peace proposal before the United Nations. Among the objections: approval would involve the U.S. in a giant "giveaway" of atomic secrets; Red China might be expected to join and benefit, etc. Secretary of State Dulles, in appearances before two Senate committees, flatly denied the charges and warned the Senators that rejection of the program-"a native American product" that has "caught the imagination of the world"-would be "disastrous" to U.S. prestige and influence...

The United States would still have security control over whatever knowledge it divulged. The nuclear material "bank" would come into existence later and the United States would meanwhile be free to refuse assistance if control and inspection measures are not to its liking. On the other hand successful measures to assure peaceful 'use might lead to greater international cooperation to limit military use of the atom...
