Original John F. Kennedy administration press release dated 9 September 1961. From Hyannis Port, where Kennedy and English Prime Minister Harold Macmillan were visiting, the two leaders issued a joint statement reading, ''...note with deepest regret that the Soviet Union has not accepted, that tests in the earth's atmosphere producing fall-out be stopped. The action contrasts vividly with the Soviet Union's own expressions of concern as to the health hazards of such testing. The President and the Prime Minister reaffirm the readiness of the United States and the United Kingdom to negotiate a controlled nuclear test ban agreement of the widest possible scope''. 8.5'' x 11'' document is a mimeograph made by the administration from the original typed sheet. Near fine condition save for minor creasing.
