mood, the Eisenhower-Nixon

mooo, the INSTRUMENTATION
administration has demon
strated its willingness to nego-
tiate in earnest with the Sow
let Union to arrive at just set
Elements for the reduction OF
world tensions. We pledge the
new administrator to continue
in the same course"
We are similarly ready to
negotiate and to institute
realistic methods and safe
guards for disarmament, and
for the suspension of nuclear
tests. We advocate an early
agreement by all nations to
forego nuclear tests in the
atmosphere, and the Suspension
of other tests as verificatIon
techniques permit. We have
deep concern about the mount
ing nuclear arms race. This
concern leads us to seek dis
armament and nuclear agree
mentS. And an equal concern
to protect all peorles frcm nu-
clear danger leads US to insist
that such agreements have
adequate safeguards.
We recognize that firm po-
litical and military policies
while imperative for our Sc
curity, cannot in themselves
build peace in the world.
In Latin America. Asia
Africa and the Middle East,
the people of all countries, an
cient and of recent inde-
pendence. have shown their
determination to improve their
standards of living, and to en-
JOY an equality with the rest
of mankind in the enjoyment
of the fruits of civilization.
This determination has become
a primary fact of their political
life. We declare ourselves tc
be in sympathy with their as
pirations.
We have already created
unprecedented dimensions OF
diplomacy for these purposes
We recognize that upon oul
support of well-conceived pro-
grams of economic co-opera-
ton among nations rest the
best hopes of hundreds of mil
lions of friendly people for g
decent future for themselves
and their children. Our mutua,
security program of economic
help and technical assistance,
the Development Loan Fund
the Inter- American Bank. the
International Development AS
Sociation and the food fol
peace program, which create
the conditions for progress ir
leSs-developed countries; oul
leadership in international eff
forts to help children, elm
mate pestilence and disease
and aid refugeeS-these are
programs wise in concept ano
generous in purpose. We mean
to continue in support oi
them.
Now we propose a further
evolution of our programs fol
assistance to and cooperation
with other nations, suitable tc
the emerging needs of the fu-
ture.
New Regional Groupings
+ We will encourage the coun.
tries Of Latin America, Africa
the Middle East and Asia, tc
initiate appropriate regiona
groupings to work out plans fol
economic and educational de.
velopment. We anticipate that
the United Nations special func
would be of assistance in de.
veloping such plans. Tht
United States would offer it,
cooperation in planning, anC
the provision of technical per.
sonnel for this purpose. Agree,
able to the developing nations
we would join with them il
inviting countries with ad,
vanced economies to share with
US a proportionate part of tht
capital and Government loans
rather than outright grants, a
a means of fostering independ
ence and mutual respect.
The Presidents recent initia
tive of a joint partnership pro
gram for Latin America open
the way to this approach.
We would propose that sucl
groupings adopt means to at
tain viable economies following
such examples as the European
common market. And If from
these institutions, there shoulC
follow stronger ecok homie anc
