Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which was published on the First Day Cover for the Republic of the Marshall Islands 55c Nuclear Test Ban stamp issued May 29, 1995. In August 1963, the United States and the Soviet Union signed a treaty that eliminated all above-ground atomic bomb testing in a diplomatic coup, Kennedy knew that his Soviet adversary, Nikita Krushchev, would welcome an olive branch after testing America's will to fight less than one year earlier. On October 22, 1962, Kennedy had placed a brief "quarantine of shipping to the island of Cuba after learning Soviet missiles were being based there. Thus, on June 10, 1963, Kennedy suggested a limited nuclear testing ban in a speech at the American University in which he stated, "If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity." Khrushchev later said it was "the best speech by any President since Roosevelt." On September 24,1963, the treaty was ratified by the U.S. Senate. Image Size: 11.5 x 14.5 in.
