Reeves Athletic Center in Washington, D.C. See "Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States, John F. Kennedy, 1963: Item 232."

The President also announces that he, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan have agreed to hold discussions concerning a comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty. Finally, he explains that the United States will not conduct atmospheric nuclear tests on the condition that other countries uphold this same promise. Produced by: CBS News.
