REPORT ON PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S SPEECH BEFORE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

17 Dec 63
In a brief address to the United Nations General Assembly
the new President of the United States attempted to make clear
what his future foreign policy will be like. He pointed out
that 30 years ago he was a collaborate of ROOSEVELT in a peaceful
revolution in the United States, and said that he now seeks
something similar for the entire world. His remark that no one
particular political system will dominate the future of mankind
may be taken as an expression of his willingness to accept
peaceful coexistence. Every leader who strives for peace, he
said, will find himself side by side with the United States.
Mr. JOHNSON's speech, which took only 15 minutes, did not
go into details, but in its main outlines left nothing to be
desired so far as clarity is concerned.
The New York police took extensive precautions to insure
the President's safety. The hall was carefully checked, and
even the grounds outside the building were inspected closely.
The President, who was accompanied by his wife and 11 members
of the Congress, was welcomed by Secretary General U THANT.
It was the last day the General Assembly, and most of the
delegates were about to return home, but the large hall was
filled to capacity. All seats in the public gallery were
occupied by special invitation.

Mr. JOHNSON said that the late President had inspired humanity
with fresh hope, which he shared with a new generation of world
leaders. KENNEDY had addressed himself to the future, and
wanted to forget the disunity of the past. The world should
follow his example.
It is true that the world knows more about how to destroy
itself than how to live together in understanding, but the
United Nations has been too successful for one to despair of the
future. President JOHNSON pointed to successes in the Congo
and Middle East, to the slowing of the arms race, to the progress
of decolonization, to the furthering of human rights. The
United Nations should provide opportunities for constructive
action and not become a platform for name-calling.
The President does not desire only bilateral assistance to
underdeveloped countries, but lays great stress on collective
international action. Just as he wishes to create the impression
among Americans that he is liberal and progressive, so did he
take this opportunity to convince the Assembly that he is deeply
interested in the fight against illiteracy, poverty, and disease.
Just as 30 years ago under ROOSEVELT he helped eliminate poverty
in America, so does he now wish to contribute to the elimination
of misery throughout the world.
Above all else, however, he sees his task as the maintenance
of peace.
Thanks to KENNEDY, the world has become a little
safer and the road to the future a little easier. The greatest
tribute one can pay to President KENNEDY is to continue his work
for a peaceful future. On this note the new President ended his
brief, reassuring speech.
