U.S. President John F. Kennedy speaks on disarmament and testing of nuclear weapons in Washington D.C. A flag of United States on the stage. He speaks that nuclear disarmament will lead to security. He clarifies that U.S. will perform tests on these nuclear weapons not for political or psychological reason but for security reason. He also talks about the negotiation with Soviet Union. “I have no doubt that most of our friends around the world have shared my own hope that we would never find it necessary to test again--and my own belief that, in the long run, the only real security in this age of nuclear peril rests not in armament but in disarmament. But I am equally certain that they would insist on our testing once that is deemed necessary to protect free world security. They know we are not deciding to test for political or psychological reasons--and they also know that we cannot avoid such tests for political or psychological reasons.” President Kennedy said.
