March 14, 2023	Interview with Daryl Kimball In this interview, Daryl Kimball reflects on his career in nuclear disarmament advocacy and the evolving challenges of arms control. He emphasizes the importance of persistence and adaptability in the face of setbacks, while also acknowledging successes like the reduction in nuclear weapons testing and arms control treaties. Kimball discusses the role of the Arms Control Association (ACA) in shaping nuclear policy through both analysis and advocacy. He also highlights the impact of civil society on nuclear disarmament and the complex relationship between government policies and the goals of nuclear abolition. This document summary was generated by an artificial intelligence language model and was reviewed by a Wilson Center staff member.

October 2, 1957	Memorandum by Frank Aiken [on an Interview with Scott McCleod and the Taoiseach] Aiken made an immediate impression on his arrival in the Twelfth Session of the UN General Assembly in September 1957. He adopted an impartial posture of assessing each issue on its merits and campaigning to remodel international politics around self-determination, humanitarianism, and peace. His exhortation was that only the UN had the moral authority and political legitimacy to put forward global solutions. While he did not propose nuclear disarmament measures specifically, his intent was signaled by his recommendation for a mutual drawback of foreign forces (including their nuclear weapons) in central Europe and his endorsement of a proposal to discuss the representation of China in the United Nations. The Eisenhower administration was hostile to Aiken’s course as outlined in the U.S. ambassador’s audience with Taoiseach Eamon de Valera and Aiken in Dublin on 2 October. The record underlines the Irish concerns about accidental nuclear war due to the proximity of opposing U.S. and Soviet forces in central Europe.
