LBJ Policy Reduces Nuclear Stockpiling
BULLETIN
MOSCOW —(UPI)— Premier Nikita S. Khrushev announced tonight the Soviet Union has stopped construction of two new atomic reactors and will "reduce substantially" its production of uranium for nuclear weapons.
NEW YORK — (UPI) — President Johnson announced today that he has ordered a further "substantial reduction" in U.S. production of enriched uranium for nuclear weapons. He said Nikita S. Khrushchev has indicated he plans a similar move.
In a wide-ranging foreign policy speech, Johnson also disclosed that he has sent William Bundy, Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs, to Laos for a first-hand look at the political crisis there.
Discussing domestic politics, Johnson said "partisan politics must yield to national need." In this connection, he said he has instructed the departments of State, Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency to be ready to provide "major candidates" for the presidency with "all possible information helpful to their discussion of American policy."
Johnson also reaffirmed U.S. policy to isolate Cuba. He likewise reiterated this country's determination to win the war in Viet Nam and put in a plug for congressional approval of his new foreign air requests.
BUT THE PRESIDENT'S address, made before the annual meeting of the Associated Press at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, dealt mainly with foreign policy.
Reiterating his willingness to seek
"We will discuss any problem, listen to any proposal pursue any agreement, take any action which might lessen the chance of war without sacrificing the interests of our allies or our own ability to defend the alliance against attack."
solutions to cold war problems with Russia, Johnson declared:
Johnson said his order reducing uranium production would be carried out over a four-year period. Added to previous reductions, he said, the new cut will mean an over-all decrease in the production of plutonium by 20 per cent and of enriched uranium by 40 per cent.
JOHNSON LAST Jan. 8 announced a 25 per cent cut in uranium production and called on the Soviet Union to take a similar step. The President's statement today that Khrushchev has now indicated a similar move was the first indication the Russians might follow suit.
"I am happy to say that Chairman Khrushchev has now indicated to me that he intends to make a move in this same direction."
"By bringing production in line with need," he said, "we reduce tension while maintaining all necessary power.
The uranium cut is an example of what Secretary of State Dean Rusk has described as limiting the arms race by "mutual example." Rusk has argued that while the United States and Russia may not be able to reach formal agreements limiting military production they may be able to curb such production unilaterally provided each is aware that the other is taking similar action.

Get the Action Habit
The test of a successful person is the ability to meet and work out problems as they arise. Probably the greatest single contribution your college education has given you is the ability to evaluate criteria and make a reasonable decision.
There is a fine line between simple procrastination and the desire to have time to accumulate fact on which to base a rational decision. Often times we must be willing to compromise with perfection lest we wait forever to take action and thereby miss the tide of fortune.
Now is a magic word. Tomorrow, next semester, later, sometime, are often synonyms for never — a failure word. Many people have good intentions; very few act on them. Ideas have value only when they are acted upon.
Have a tough decision to make as to what courses to take or what job opportunity is best for you? Seize the initiative. Have the ability and the ambition to take the ball and run. Remember today is tomorrow's yesterday.
