	Description:	President Kennedy announces that the US and Britain will send high-level negotiators to Moscow in July for conferences on a nuclear test ban. Meanwhile, the President says that the US will discontinue nuclear tests unless some other country resumes them. Washington DC President Kennedy walking up to the podium at Washington's American University graduation. President Kennedy, "First - Chairman Khrushchev, Prime Minister Macmillan and I have agreed that high level discussions will shortly began in Moscow, looking towards early agreement on a comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. Our hopes must be tempered with a caution of history, but with our hopes, go the hopes of all man kind. Second - To make clear our good faith and solemn convictions on this matter I now declared that the United States does not propose to conduct nuclear tests in the atmosphere so long as other states do not do so. This generation of Americans has already had enough, more than enough of war and hate and oppression. We shall be prepared if other's wish it, we shall be alert to try, to stop it, but we will also do our part to build a world of peace where the weak are safe and the strong are just. We are not helpless before that task of hopeless of its success, confident and unafraid. We must labor on, not towards a strategy of annihilation but towards a strategy of peace" (Applause)
