difficulties lining my path, I still have confidence in the future of

my country when I consider the efforts which your Government and you do

not cease, to expend in our behalf. I know also that your task is not easy.

Several of your countrymen did not always understand the problems of the.

Congo. I know also that my polley of non-alignment is not always understood

by the tar-paylig American; but the acts which I present should suffice to

clarity opinion; cince I have never renounced the principles of Liberty and

democracy which reign in the free world. I would not wish to inject a

pessimistic tone in uy letter in saying that if a positive result was not

obtained in the coming weeks I would be perhaps forced to subndt my

resignation to the Chief of State. This would be the result of the un-

fortunate efforts of those who in desiring happiness for the Congolese people

continue to pursue their own interests.

I would be ill-mannered in ending these lines if I did not reiterate

to you in my name and in the neme of the Congolese people the fealings of

gratitude which we owe to you personally as well as to the American people

for the material and moral support which you have not ceased to furnish us.

Belleve me, my dear President,

Tours vosy aincerely,.
