OPEN LETTER ON NUCLEAR POLICY.

The article discusses the open letter on nuclear policy from 175 college and university professors in the Boston area to U.S. President John F. Kennedy. The material appeared in the August 21 issue of New York Times as an advertisement. It also published previous letters from Boston area professors, the first dealing with civil defense and the second with Cuba. Several of the endorsers have decided to form the informally organized Boston Area Faculty Group on Public Issues. The first civil defense letter appeared in the New York Times on November 10, 1961 after two months in newspapers nationwide. The issue is focused on the concerned inspection. The U.S. insists on unlimited inspection at an early stage, but the U.S.S.R. declines it until a late stage.
