UN General Assembly
1955

1. Mr. President, the Members of the United Nations have expressed deep confidence in you and your country by electing you to guide their deliberations in the tenth session of the General Assembly. In congratulating you on this distinction, I gratefully recall the constant and generous sympathy with which the peoples of Latin America have sustained Israel’s struggle for independence and security. 2. The illness which has beset the President of the United States has evoked our profound concern. Few men in our generation have brought such high qualities of leadership to the defence and preservation of freedom. Multitudes of people in every land will attend President Eisenhower's progress with devout wishes for his swift recuperation.
