In a text prepared for deliv-

feller said:
''The tensions between the
United States and the Soviet
Union should not and must not
obscure our awareneSs of the
great and affirmative challenge
before us. and the resisting of
Soviet aggression IS Cn.y a part, /
a necessary but a negative part,
OF our great task AS a Nation.
I'VE are not simply striving
as a Nation to heal the wounds
opened by the so-called cold .
war. We are striving to make
man himself - the common
wealth of nations-healthy and |
strong. -.
"The test, therefore, of every
action and every decision. must |
be more constructive. more pro-

momentary device to deter the

"Our supreme purpose is not
to defeat the intentions or the
ambitions of others. Our su-

to achieve a world that respects
our common heritage of belief
in dignity and freedom of all
peoples"
Mr.. Rockefeller said there is
no serious debate in arguing
whether the United States pol

For us, the cold war is not

must realize that since the ,
cold war is essentially a Soviet
creation-it can come to it's i
end only by serious and sub
stantive change in Soviet con-
duct. We cannot imagine that ,
a tactical change in Soviet
manners or Soviet tone is
enough"
