Offering their test ban meant nothing to them since they did not have anymore planned in the near future. Awfully generous of them, eh Tim? You also implied that the Soviets have cutoff funds for testing, how about posting your source. No testing != no testing planned for the future. Now suppose we finish our current testing and ask the Soviets to continue theirs, what do you really think will happen when the Soviets are ready for their next round of testing?
