...matter what kind of ABM deterrent system a country may install, it will not deter an enemy bent on using nuclear weapons. All the belligerent nation need do is deposit nuclear explosives underwater off the coast of the target country, wait until the winds are just right, and detonate the weapon. The fallout will inflict the damage...
Aware that Kennedy's speech would command considerable attention, the Administration took considerable pains to soften its impact. Before Bobby began speaking, Johnson casually dropped the news that Moscow had agreed to talks on "means of limiting the arms race in offensive and defensive nuclear missiles." The U.S., said the President, was anxious to dissuade the Russians from deploying an anti-ballistic missile system that might force Washington to increase drastically its own missile program.

As with the Partial Test-Ban Treaty, France and Red China are not expected to sign the non-proliferation treaty. The Americans and Russians hope that they will be able to persuade the have-nots to put aside their hesitations and go along with the treaty, but expect that the job of persuasion will take at least to fall, when they hope that the United Nations will take up the question...
