Text of Joint Statement. Poee At
"a very high level of agree
ment" had been achieved and
a warning that many sacrifices
would be needed in the struggle
for security against commu-
nisra.
The statement was couched
in the most general terms, but
reports of British consideration
of the atom sharing plan in
dicated progress in the Vests
efforts to equip NATO with an
independent nuclear force.
Would Cut Waste
The aim of the British move
would be to make a start to-
ward eliminating duplication
and waste of resources within
the alliance, cut Britain's own
costs, divert France from her
expensive efforts to develop a
separate nuclear capability, and
make it unnecessary for West
Germany to travel the same
road in reaction to Frances ad-
vances.
The idea repeatedly has been
discussed in general terms at
various levels by those partici-
pating in the Kennedy -Macmil-
Ian talks.
What voice, if any, the United
States would have in use and
control of the all-European
NATO nuclear force is not clear.
The President and Prime
Minister ended II hours of
talks here yesterday with a
joint statement read by Mr..
Kennedy with Mr.. Macmillan
at his side in the White House
rose garden.
No mention of the new idea
was made, although it may
have been embraced in the gen.
eral statement that I'VE have
considered what measures it
might be advisable to take, to-
gether with our allies to insure
the cohesion, effectiveness and
adaptability of the Atlantic
community in a changing
world"
The two free world leaders
said their high level of agree
ment was on their estimate of
world problems they faced. But
they said little about agree
ments on what to do to meet
the problems.
This omission was mainly
out of Difference to the NATO
