This week, Amb. Scheinman is speaking in Latin America about the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. On signing the NPT in 1968, President Johnson said “After nearly a quarter century of danger and fear—reason and sanity have prevailed to reduce the danger and to greatly lessen the fear. Thus, all mankind is reassured. As the moment is reassuring, so it is, even more, hopeful and heartening. For this treaty is evidence that amid the tensions, the strife, the struggle, and the sorrow of these years, men of many nations have not lost the way—or have not lost the will—toward peace. The conclusion of this treaty encourages the hope that other steps may be taken toward a peaceful world.” We look forward to the NPT RevCon this spring.
