...private enterprise to take the initiative in building commercial plants. Many Congressmen felt that the Government had to take the lead, offer fat subsidies to get large-scale commercial atomic power going now. Last week a special committee of businessmen and engineers appointed by new AEC Chairman John A. McCone to advise him suggested a solution. The Government would pay a major part of the costs of constructing prototype plants up to 80,000 kw. Whenever the AEC thought experience justified building a 200,000-to-5000,000-kw. plant of a particular type, it would tell industry so. Thereafter...
...share around $150 million to $200 million, the rest coming from industry. Against this, the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy had proposed $250 million to $275 million.

Next morning Humphrey went to the White House, spent more than an hour with Dwight Eisenhower, reported that Khrushchev had told him that the Soviet Union has a five-megaton nuclear weapon that employs only one-tenth as much "dirty" fissionable triggering material as old bombs, although U.S. intelligence has picked up no evidence that...
...said passionately: "I want my President to call [the Russian] bluff." But for the most part Dwight Eisenhower seemed impressed, asked Gore to submit his proposals in a formal memorandum. Gore did, also talked over his ideas with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and new AEC Chairman John McCone. Under close examination, flaws might appear in Albert Gore's plan, but at least it had the merit of suggesting a way out of an otherwise bitter, abrasive impasse on the question of test suspension...
