In this photograph, taken by Cecil Stoughton on October 7, 1963, President John F. Kennedy speaks during the signing ceremony for the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in the Treaty Room of the White House. Ratified by the U.S. Senate on September 24, 1963, the treaty allowed underground nuclear tests, but prohibited tests in the water, atmosphere, or outer space. The signers pledged to end the arms race, move to complete disarmament, and protect the environment from nuclear contamination. The ceremony was held shortly after the Treaty Room was restored by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and interior designer Stéphane Boudin. The refurbished room paid homage to late 19th-century splendor and included deep green flocked wallpaper with a geometric border based on a design used for the State Rooms of the White House during the Andrew Jackson administration, a cabinet table, sofa, and chandeliers from the Ulysses S. Grant administration; and notable works of art such as Peter Frederick Rothermel's "The Republican Court in the Days of Lincoln," pictured here on the wall behind President Kennedy.

Johnson and Everett McKinley Dirksen. The chandelier had once hung in the East Room. The Treaty Room is located on the Second Floor of the White House and has been used as the president’s private study where the commander-in-chief can analyze reports, hold private meetings, edit speeches, and host family gatherings. However, it is one of the most historic rooms in the house, bearing witness to the signing of the peace protocol between Spain and United States in 1898, and the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union in 1963, and it is possibly where President James Monroe composed the Monroe Doctrine. It has also served as the Cabinet Room for various administrations including Ulysses Grant, Rutherford Hayes, and William McKinley.
