Now that's an interesting whatif, although I can't contribute much. It seems that France and Great Britain were to be present too - probably to discuss Berlin.

It was hoped there would have been a breakthrough in an atmospheric test treaty and then Ike was to have a successful tour of the Soviet Union later that summer. Would this also cause butterflies in the 1960 election if all that had happened?
