76. With truly unparalleled hypocrisy, those who are preparing to involve mankind in thermonuclear war make a pretence of being concerned about its health. Three years ago nuclear weapons tests were discontinued but this was preceded by prolonged appeals by the USSR and all the peace-loving States; unilateral discontinuance of tests by the Soviet Union; full completion of the projected and prepared programmes of explosions by the United Kingdom and the United States.
