UN General Assembly
1964

1. I should be remiss, Mr. President, if I did not congratulate you on your accession to the Presidency of this nineteenth session of the General Assembly, the consummation of an outstanding career which has been well served by your exceptional qualities both as diplomat and statesman. Not only have these qualities been recognized by spontaneous acclamation of the General Assembly, but you yourself have won a personal triumph. I should like once more to offer you my congratulations.
