I would be very happy to see the United Nations take a bigger and firmer hold and get more nations that are capable of contributing.

Under your reign the traditional ties of friendship and mutual understanding between our two countries, as well as the sympathetic cooperation of our peoples, have indeed been strengthened.

I am confident that the mutual aspirations of our peoples will further enhance this relationship in the years to come.

Today we meet to discuss methods of normalizing and increasing the contacts between our nations in many fields.

Toward Germany, the four of us bear special responsibilities.

I have come here, in this beautiful country of yours, to meet with my colleagues from other countries to see whether it is not possible to find some road that will lead all mankind into a more tranquil, better, fuller way of life.

Such a peace can best be achieved by loyal steadfast support for the Charter of the United Nations.

It was, I think, very encouraging to note that in this incident, at least, there was a different attitude taken by the Soviets than they ever had in a similar one before.

I merely want to express great gratification that he came over.

Always in one hand will be the olive branch held out to all who will take it in honesty and in integrity.

I need emphasize to you the importance of a close tie between the two groups.

The Austrian State Treaty represents the culmination of an effort by the Western Powers extending over a period of more than eight years to bring about Soviet agreement to grant Austria its freedom.

We believed, as you know, that until Western Europe had been united, until there were some German forces joining the NATO organization, and until we had some confidence in the Russian word through deeds rather than mere protestation, that it would do little good to have talks with them.

If this one [Austrian Treaty] indicates what they are apparently trying to make it appear to indicate, well, then, I am going to try to find out whether it is absolutely sincere.

I will go anywhere anytime if any good is to be done.

This business of foreign affairs, things change from day to day.

You are going to meet, try to discover whether you believe the other people are sincerely hoping to relieve tensions.

I realize that these representatives here really represent some 20 million people, and I am told there are 31 countries here represented, which makes it a truly significant body.
