President Kennedy Meets with Prime Minister Macmillan in Bermuda

Dec. 21, 1961 - President Kennedy and Prime Minister Macmillan opened a two-day meeting in Bermuda today with discussions of Soviet progress in nuclear weapons, the Berlin question, and the crisis in the Congo. One of the principal conclusions reached by both sides was that the Soviet Union had made progress in the development of the anti-missile missile. While it is believed that in order to make similar progress, the U.S. and Britain would have to conduct atmospheric tests of their own, the subject of conducting such tests was not discussed. The President and the Prime Minister will resume their talks at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow and will meet twice.
