תשומת לב לקטעים מעניינים מערש ימי הגרעין הישראלי - תמצית משיחת קנדי- בן גוריון, בניו יורק, 1961 (על פי רישום השיחה, ששוחרר לפרסום ע"י ארה"ב):
On May 30, 1961, at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York, the Israeli prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, and the new U.S. president, John F. Kennedy, met to discuss the future of the Dimona project, the secret Israeli nuclear project that had been discovered by U.S. intelligence only a few months earlier and that Kennedy opposed.28 Ben-Gurion had repeatedly pledged to Kennedy, both publicly and privately, that the Dimona project was for peaceful purposes only, but Kennedy was not convinced.
The minutes of the meeting were classified for some 30 years on both sides of the Atlantic, and not until the mid-1990s were they released for publication.29 The two leaders spent only the first 15 minutes of the meeting on the nuclear issue. Kennedy emphasized the importance of the Israeli pledge that the atomic initiative was for peaceful purposes only and also the importance of this commitment being not only stated but also seen by visitors. In response, Ben-Gurion told Kennedy about Israel's future energy problems, repeated his pledge that Dimona was for peaceful purposes, added a caveat, and concluded in a somewhat vague manner:
We are asked whether it is for peace. For the time being the only purposes are for peace. Not now but after three or four years we shall have a pilot plant for separation, which is needed anyway for a power reactor. There is no such intention now, not for four or five years. But we will see what happens in the Middle East. It does not depend on us. Maybe Russia won't give bombs to China or Egypt, but maybe Egypt will develop them herself.
