TREATY SIGNING Minister Raul Leuterio (right), representing the Philippines as Charge d'Affaires of the Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C., and U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs Walter S. Robertson sign atoms-for-peace agreement. Inspired by President Eisenhower's proposal calling for world-wide cooperation to harness atomic energy for the benefit of all peoples, the Philippines signed a treaty with the U.S. on July 27, 1955, and became the first Asian nation to join in the "Atoms For Peace" program. As a result of the agreement, the Philippines received on November 29, 1955, a complete library of technical information covering the peaceful uses of the atom in every field. The pact also provides for the education and training in nuclear energy of Filipino scientists and technicians in the U.S. This education program began prior to the treaty signing. Features of the treaty are summarized above. Right: Under-Secretary of Foreign Affairs Raul S.
