We would of course warmly welcome you but if you can't come, we will thoroughly understand in the light of your own important problems in the State.

THE DEATH of Vladimir Komarov is a tragedy in which all nations share.

I appreciate the warmth of your welcome, and I regard it as real warmth when you stand in the rain to see me, although the thing we welcome most in my State right now is rain.

I am very truly sorry that my stop here is so short, but it is one that I shall always treasure and always remember.

It is for them--not for the statisticians and economists--that we have come here to plan, to dream and to work.

But the assistance of my Nation will be useful only as it reinforces your own determination and builds on your own achievements.

We have come to Punta del Este as the leaders of 20 governments--and as the trustees for more than 400 million human beings.

In unity--and only in unity--is our strength.

I pledge to you today that I will do all I can, in my time of leadership, to help you meet these challenges.

The board shall report its findings to the President with respect to these disputes within thirty days from the date of this order.
