Miscellaneous - This Day That Age   

dated June 27, 1958: Geneva talks

The Soviet Union told the United States on June 25 that it could not participate in the forthcoming experts’ meeting at Geneva unless its object was to “bring about a discontinuation of the tests of nuclear weapons by all the Powers which possess them.” A memorandum from the Soviet Foreign Minister, Mr. Andrei Gromyko, to the U.S. Government strongly criticised the American Secretary of State, Mr. John Foster Dulles, for having said that the experts’ meeting should be conducted without predetermining whether the tests would be temporarily suspended or not, the Tass news agency said. The tone of the Soviet note raises doubts whether the East-West talks will take place.
