missions. The declaration was
broadcast 3 hours after mis-
departure.
The statement was aimed
mainly at the United States. It
accused imperialists of starting
the Hungarian "counter-revolu-
ton" in order to launch a con-
quest of the East European
peoples democracies. 1t charged
the United States with manipu-

The joint declaration paraded
many of the old cold war at
tacks against the West and de-
manded extreme vigilance" in

Soviet Union.
