As an American citizen concerned with the future of my children and grandchildren, I am distressed by the failure of our government to accept Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's latest offer regarding a moratorium on nuclear testing. This offer and earlier ones were labeled by our Administration as mere propaganda ploys.
No doubt Gorbachev is aware of their propaganda value, but a ban on nuclear testing is a good idea whether it comes from Gorbachev, President Reagan or Joe Smith. Taking a constructive step toward reducing the world arsenal of nuclear bombs must override any considerations of diplomatic jockeying.
