...Acheson. Two days later, before an applauding group of NATO parliamentarians in Washington, Acheson implied that the Russians are interested principally in survival for Communists. "It is so easy to confuse or to use this word 'negotiation' as a cover for a surrender ... If to negotiate means to put the fagade of consent upon a defeat, then I think it is not something which should recommend itself to us . . . The essential thing is what you confer about-not whether you should confer but what you confer about." And what the U.S. is being asked to confer about...

By Pentagon estimates, $1.5 billion could be saved over the years by a combined program. Yet the two overlapping development programs continue. Other 1961 specifics...

"Without further tests the development of our next generation of weapons is stopped cold," said a two-star general. The Joint Chiefs of Staff and the top civilian bosses of the Pentagon all agree that testing should be resumed...
