Document is a carbon copy of BR's letter to the editor in the 25 Nov. 1962 edition of the New York Times.

"The United States' insistence upon on-site inspection is unjustifiable, since even underground tests do not demand such inspection, and those tests which might conceivably escape detection would be of such small magnitude as to be of marginal interest. The Soviet Union is not justified in being unwilling to agree to a ban on testing in the atmosphere, independent of any agreement to be reached on underground tests. Neither side, it would appear, is sincere in the negotiations."
