Stevenson says that this experiment is a threat to 78 countries, with environmental pollution and radioactivity. Stevenson says, "As he said he would Mr Khrushchev has exploded his giant bomb in cynical disregard of the United Nations. By this act the Soviet Union has added injury to insult They broke the moratorium on nuclear weapons testing. They have raised atmospheric pollution to new heights. They have started a new race for more deadly weapons. They have spurned the humanitarian appeal of the United Nations and of all peace loving peoples. They have advanced no solid justification for exploding this monstrous and unnecessary weapon. They have been wholly unmoved by the dangers of radioactive fallout to the human race. The United States delegation deeply deplores this contempt for world opinion. We think that in the light of this somber development other delegations may wish to express their views on this shocking and distressing news. For today, Mr. Chairman, the world has taken a great leap backward toward anarchy and disaster."
