Eighteen years after the United States presented its plan for the
international control of atomic energy to the United Nations, the
first major arms control agreement was signed between the United
States and the Soviet Union. Including Great Britain, the three
major nuclear powers pledged to refrain from nuclear tests in the
atmosphere, outer space, and underwater in a treaty negotiated in
Moscow within two weeks during the summer of 1963. It was hoped
that the treaty would at least discourage those phases of the arms
race which required large-yield nuclear explosions in the
atmosphere or outer space as well as eliminate further radioactive
pollution of the atmos phere. In addition, the test ban would
discourage, though not eliminate, the development of nuclear
weapons by other treaty adherents because the un derground testing
allowed under the terms of the document would escalate already
heavy costs for countries intending to conduct their first nuclear
tests. The Kennedy administration expected other agreements to
follow the test ban treaty, particularly an agreement to keep outer
space free from 1 nuclear warheads and to outlaw underground tests
in the near future. But one of the most important anticipated
benefits of the treaty was the expected improvement of relations
between the United States and the Soviet Union. The treaty was
important not only because it was a tangible breakthrough in
East-West arms-control negotiations but also because of its
implications for domestic and international politics."
