Summary:

Eighth in a series of reports, prepared by CRS for the Subcom on National Security Policy and Scientific Developments on the interactions of science and technology with U.S. foreign policy. This volume, by Leneice N. Wu, describes and examines reasons for failure of the Baruch Plan, the earliest attempt at international control of atomic energy and weapons, with special attention to issues evolving from interaction of science, technology, and diplomacy.

Includes discussion of preparations for UN negotiations, public reaction to the proposals, and influence on public opinion of early estimates of Soviet Union nuclear technology capabilities.
