UN General Assembly
1957

140. Austria is proud to be host to the first General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency, and will prove Itself worthy of the honour, should Vienna be chosen to become the permanent site of the Agency. We fully realize that this would mean a great responsibility, but we shall do our best to further international co-operation and work towards mutual understanding. The city on the Danube still breathes the spirit of centuries of history and tradition and might well inspire a solemn thought, namely, that all power is transitory and that only the good, the noble and the beautiful create monuments that defy all time.
