For Kistiakowsky’s account of this meeting, see A Scientist at the White House, p. 281. On March 24, Herter, Allen Dulles, and Goodpaster met with Eisenhower, and Herter briefed the President on this meeting as follows: “Defense is prepared to go along with a line of action such as the President had discussed with Mr. Herter yesterday. Mr. McCone is violently opposed. He thought perhaps the President should see the principals, or possibly Mr. McCone alone. The President said he is willing to accept the proposal for a moratorium on tests below the threshold, but it must be limited to an agreed period and made subject to the decision of his successor. As regards Mr. McCone’s opposition, this is a policy question, and Mr. McCone will have to accept the President’s policy determination.” (Memorandum of conference with the President by Goodpaster, March 24; Eisenhower Library, Whitman File, Eisenhower Diaries)
