June 11-President Eisenhower proposed today to remove two roadblocks from the "broad avenue of world progress" toward a more abundant life for all through peaceful uses of atomic energy.

For nations ready to go ahead with building operating power reactors, he said this nation should provide "within prudent security considerations access to and training in the technological processes of construction and operation for peaceful purposes." Such power reactors would be financed by foreign funds, but -this nation would make available nuclear fuel to energize them. "Together, these two provisions are designed, within the limits of prudence, to clear away some of the obstacles that have impeded progress in nuclear science and to permit its peaceful application by all who propose to make it serve mankind," the President declared. "Here Is an Invitation to scientists and engineers, to industries and governments to pool their energies and creative talents that this great achievement of the human mind may bear the fruit of its infinite promise.

"I still hope earnestly that the Soviet Union may Join In an international effort to harness the atom for man's good. But I have such unlimited confidence in the creativeness of free minds and in the capacity of free men that I know we will, with or without the Soviets, achieve a more abundant life for those who Join together in this historic venture."
