UN General Assembly

123. Yes, the Soviet Government is conducting nuclear weapons tests, is constructing new types of nuclear weapons, is showing and will continue to show concern for strengthening the defensive capacity of the Soviet Union and of our allies who, together with the Soviet Union, are pursuing a policy of peace and, like us, advocate general and complete disarmament. The Soviet Union is being forced to all this by the actions of the NATO Powers. The position will change, if these Powers renounce their aggressive policy and tread the path of general and complete disarmament. 124. We do not propose to make questions of the Soviet Union's security the subject of imperialistic-arbitration on the part of NATO. We do not propose to allow them to be decided by those who are forging weapons of war day in day out, who have established dozens and dozens of military bases in areas adjacent to the Soviet Union.
