 The following is a pre-recorded paid political announcement. Of 1945, the United States tested the first atomic bomb. In September of 1949, the Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb. A band of nuclear weapons changed the course of the world. As well as the war. Since that time, all mankind has been struggling to escape from the darkening prospect of mass destruction on Earth. Yesterday, a shaft of light caught into the darkness. Negotiations were concluded in Moscow on a treaty to ban all nuclear tests in the atmosphere, in outer space and underwater. John F. Kennedy lived daily, as I must now do, with the stark reality of nuclear power. Who lives with that responsibility can speak or think lightly of the terrible forces of destruction that could be released in the world. One year ago, we signed the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty that has reduced tensions and moved the world without endangering our security, drastically reduced radioactive poison in the air that we breathe. And it's made all of our lives safer. Once too lessen the danger of war, curse the only lighters out of the darkness. I will work to bring peace to this world and the world of our children. On November 3rd, vote for President Johnson. The stakes are too high for you to stay home.
