...Chairman Recognizes . . . Before Dean could open his briefcase, Russia's Semyon ("Scratchy") Tsarapkin, taking advantage of his position as conference chairman for the day, proceeded to deliver a blistering "historical review" of the test-ban talks to date. He chided Britain and the U.S. for "allowing" France to continue nuclear tests, and coolly reneged on Russia's previous agreement to accept a single neutral scientific administrator to head whatever test-ban system might be established.

The two Western powers were also prepared to extend the moratorium on underground testing to three years, to accept 19 rather than 21 control posts in Russia, and to agree to full inspection of any nuclear devices used industrially. The one point on which the West would...

Tsarapkin, on instructions from Moscow, unexpectedly dropped his longtime insistence that any East-West program of research on underground test detection would have to be carried out solely with conventional explosives, agreed to include a "strictly limited number" of nuclear explosions. Viewed in the light of Tsarapkin's concession and the previous history of the test-ban negotiations, Project Vela seemed entirely peaceable...
Even before Macmillan's plane left London, the Administration had decided in its own councils to accept Tsarapkin's moratorium proposal in the interest of getting a test-ban treaty that might possibly lead to progress on disarmament...
