rs. When the administration
Iof President Eisenhower took
office, it inherited a disarmament
stalemate and an atomic arms
race, both of which stemmed
largely from the repeated rejec-
lions by the USSR of the Baruch
proposals of 1946-47 for putting
all atomic energy under interna-
Itional control.
26. AS a result of the Presi-
dents consideration of this prob
lem, the idea for the atoms-for-
peace program was evolved and
presented to the world in the
speech on December 8, 1853,
which the President made to
the General Assembly of the
United Nations. This speech pic
tured the holocaust of an atomic
war, the blessings of an atomic
peace, and proposed an interna-
tional agency to which the pow
ers possessing atomic materials
would begin and continue to
make contributions of such ma
terials for peaceful uses.
