UN General Assembly
1964

7. The time has come when we should embark with high hope and firm determination upon the consolidation of genuine peace in the world. Last year, we saw an agreement on the establishment of a direct communications link between Washington and Moscow. Then, in August 1963, came a historic event—the signing of a partial test ban treaty by the United States, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. While this treaty does not give us complete satisfaction because it does not provide for the prohibition of underground testing, the fact that more than 100 nations have adhered to it is indeed a source of encouragement.
