and for the first time in 17 years of 33 00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:38,439 effort a specific step has been taken to 34 00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:42,438 limit the nuclear arms 35 00:01:38,438 --> 00:01:46,039

00:03:07,519 for the value of this body's 62 00:03:03,479 --> 00:03:10,639 we the reduction of global tension must 63 00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:11,719 not be an excuse for the narrow pursuit 64 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,958 of 65 00:03:11,719 --> 00:03:17,840 self-interest if the Soviet Union and 66 00:03:14,959 --> 00:03:20,519 the United States with all of their 67 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,878 Global interests and clashing 68 00:03:20,519 --> 00:03:25,280 commitments of 69 00:03:21,878 --> 00:03:28,639 ideology and with nuclear weapons still 70 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:31,840 aimed at each other today can find areas 71 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,958 of common interest and agreement then 72 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,560 surely other nations can do the 73 00:03:33,959 --> 00:03:39,759 same Nations caught in Regional 74 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,640 conflicts in racial issues or in the 75 00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:43,759 death throws of old 76 00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:46,559 colonialism chronic 77 00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:49,479 disputes which divert precious resources 78 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:52,719 from the needs of the people or drain 79 00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:56,639 the energies of both sides serve the 80 00:03:52,719 --> 00:03:59,799 interests of no one and the badge of 81 00:03:56,639 --> 00:04:02,399 responsibility in the modern world you 82 00:03:59,799 --> 00:04:05,879 is a willingness to seek peaceful 83 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:09,239 Solutions it is never too early to try 84 00:04:05,878 --> 00:04:13,518 and it's never too late to talk and 85 00:04:09,239 --> 00:04:15,759 United States as a major nuclear power 86 00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:19,840 does have a special responsibility to 87 00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:22,199 the world it is in fact a three-fold 88 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,079 responsibility a responsibility to our 89 00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:25,759 own 90 00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:28,639 citizens a responsibility to the people 91 00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:30,400 of the whole world who are affected by 92 00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:32,840 our decisions 93 00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:36,279 and to the next generation of 94 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:38,879 humanity we believe the Soviet Union 95 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,519 also has these special 96 00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:44,800 responsibilities and that those 97 00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:47,839 responsibilities require our two Nations 98 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,360 to concentrate Less on our differences 99 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:54,119 and more on the means of resolving them 100 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:56,840 peacefully for too long both of us have 101 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,038 increased our military budgets our 102 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,439 nuclear 103 00:04:58,038 --> 00:05:03,560 stockpiles and our cap capacity to 104 00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:07,160 destroy all life on this 105 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:09,519 hemisphere human animal 106 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,520 vegetable without any corresponding 107 00:05:09,519 --> 00:05:14,879 increase in our 108 00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:18,120 security our conflicts to be sure are 109 00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:21,759 real our concepts of the world are 110 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:23,800 different no service is performed by 111 00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:26,840 failing to make clear our 112 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:29,720 disagreements a central difference is 113 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,879 the belief of the American people in 114 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,160 self-determination for all 115 00:05:31,879 --> 00:05:35,360 people we believe that the people of 116 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,160 Germany and 117 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:41,439 Berlin must be free to reunite their 118 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:45,319 capital and their country we believe 119 00:05:41,439 --> 00:05:47,038 that the people of Cuba must be free to 120 00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:49,960 secure the fruits of the 121 00:05:47,038 --> 00:05:52,519 Revolution that have been betrayed from 122 00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:55,879 within and exploited from 123 00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:58,719 without protection of freedom and our 124 00:05:55,879 --> 00:06:02,038 determination to safeguard that freedom 125 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:04,280 will measure up to to any threat or 126 00:06:02,038 --> 00:06:08,318 challenge but I would say to the leaders 127 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:10,318 of the Soviet Union and to their people 128 00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:13,319 that if either of our countries is to be 129 00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:16,680 fully secure we need a much better 130 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:19,879 weapon than the hbomb a weapon better 131 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,759 than ballistic missiles or nuclear 132 00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:24,360 submarines and that better weapon is 133 00:06:22,759 --> 00:06:27,520 peaceful 134 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:31,319 cooperation we have in recent years 135 00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:33,959 agreed on a limited test B treaty on an 136 00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:36,400 emergency communications link between 137 00:06:33,959 --> 00:06:39,239 our capitals on a statement of 138 00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:42,198 principles for disarmament on an 139 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:44,960 increase in cultural exchange on 140 00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:47,280 cooperation in outer space on the 141 00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:51,038 peaceful exporation of the 142 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:54,000 antarcticspring last year's crisis over 143 00:06:51,038 --> 00:06:57,519 Cuba I believe therefore that the Soviet 144 00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:01,120 Union and the United States together 145 00:06:57,519 --> 00:07:03,560 with their allies can achieve further 146 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:07,199 agreements agreements which spring from 147 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:09,360 our mutual interest in avoiding Mutual 148 00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:12,439 destruction there can be no doubt about 149 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,840 the agenda of further steps we must 150 00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:16,478 continue to seek 151 00:07:13,839 --> 00:07:19,038 agreements on measures which prevent War 152 00:07:16,478 --> 00:07:21,560 by accident or 153 00:07:19,038 --> 00:07:24,598 miscalculation we must continue to seek 154 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:28,079 agreement on safeguards against surprise 155 00:07:24,598 --> 00:07:31,360 attack including observation posts at 156 00:07:28,079 --> 00:07:33,918 key points we must continue to seek 157 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:37,479 agreement on further measures to curve 158 00:07:33,918 --> 00:07:40,918 the nuclear arms race by controlling the 159 00:07:37,478 --> 00:07:44,120 transfer of nuclear weapons converting 160 00:07:40,918 --> 00:07:46,959 fishable materials to Peaceful purposes 161 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,918 and banning underground testing with 162 00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:51,478 adequate inspection and 163 00:07:48,918 --> 00:07:53,799 enforcement we must continue to seek 164 00:07:51,478 --> 00:07:57,120 agreement on a freeer flow of 165 00:07:53,800 --> 00:08:00,280 information and people from east to west 166 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,280 and west to east we must continue to 167 00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:03,878 seek 168 00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:06,679 agreement encouraged by yesterday's 169 00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:09,360 affirmative response to this proposal by 170 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:11,720 the Soviet foreign minister on an 171 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:15,280 arrangement to keep weapons of mass 172 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:16,840 destruction out of outer space let us 173 00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:19,559 get our negotiators back to the 174 00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:22,519 negotiating table to work out a 175 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,399 practicable arrangement to this 176 00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:26,799 end 177 00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:30,038 purposes finally in a field where the 178 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:33,599 United States and the Soviet Union 179 00:08:30,038 --> 00:08:36,479 have a special capacity in the field of 180 00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:39,519 space there is room for new 181 00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:42,519 cooperation for further joint efforts in 182 00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:45,360 the regulation and exploration of 183 00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:48,320 space I include among these 184 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:51,600 possibilities a joint expedition to the 185 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:54,399 Moon space offers no problems of 186 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,759 sovereignty by resolution of this 187 00:08:54,399 --> 00:09:00,360 assembly the members of the United 188 00:08:56,759 --> 00:09:03,679 Nations have for sworn any claim 189 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:06,919 the territorial rights in outer space 190 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:09,958 are on celestial bodies and declared 191 00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:11,719 that inational law and the United 192 00:09:09,958 --> 00:09:14,518 Nations Charter will 193 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:17,240 apply why therefore should Man's first 194 00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:18,560 flight to the moon be a matter of 195 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,879 national 196 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:24,039 competition why should the United States 197 00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:25,039 and the Soviet Union in preparing for 198 00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:27,639 such 199 00:09:25,039 --> 00:09:30,199 Expeditions become involved in immense 200 00:09:27,639 --> 00:09:31,000 duplications of research construction 201 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,480 and 202 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:36,440 expenditure surely we should 203 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:38,278 explore whether the scientists and 204 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,640 astronauts of our two 205 00:09:38,278 --> 00:09:41,958 countries and that freedom is more 206 00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:45,039 enduring than 207 00:09:41,958 --> 00:09:48,039 coercion and in the contest for a better 208 00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:50,439 life all the world can be a 209 00:09:48,039 --> 00:09:53,360 winner the effort to improve the 210 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:57,040 conditions of man however is not a task 211 00:09:53,360 --> 00:10:01,560 for the few it is the task of all 212 00:09:57,039 --> 00:10:04,599 Nations acting alone acting in groups 213 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:06,838 acting in the United Nations for plague 214 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:10,040 and pestilence and plunder and 215

such capacity to 218 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,839 control his own 219 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:27,480 environment to end thirst and hunger to 220 00:10:23,839 --> 00:10:30,480 conquer poverty and disease to banish 221 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:33,879 illiteracy and massive human 222 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:36,920 Misery we have the power to make this 223 00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:40,919 the best generation of mankind in the 224 00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:44,838 history of the world or to make it the 225 00:10:40,919 --> 00:10:48,278 last unit the provision of development 226 00:10:44,839 --> 00:10:51,440 assistance by individual Nations must go 227 00:10:48,278 --> 00:10:54,799 on but the United Nations also must play 228 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:57,880 a larger role in helping bring to all 229 00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:59,519 men the fruits of modern science and 230 00:10:57,879 --> 00:11:01,679 industry 231 00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:05,399 a United Nations conference on this 232 00:11:01,679

fifths of the entire 238 00:11:20,278 --> 00:11:26,958 United Nations system can be found today 239 00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:29,879 mobilizing the weapons of science and 240 00:11:26,958 --> 00:11:34,479 technology for the United Nations decade 241 00:11:29,879 --> 00:11:37,039 of development but more can be done a 242 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,639 World Center for Health Communications 243 00:11:37,039 --> 00:11:41,759 under the World Health 244 00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:44,799 Organization could warn of epidemics and 245 00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:46,720 the adverse effects of certain drugs as 246 00:11:44,799 --> 00:11:50,240 well as transmit the results of new 247 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:52,720 experiments and new discoveries Regional 248 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:55,480 research centers could Advance our 249 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:58,879 common medical knowledge and train new 250 00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:01,440 scientists and doctors for new nations a 251 00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:03,320 global system of satellites could 252 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:06,800 provide communication and weather 253 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:09,720 information for all corners of the earth 254 00:12:06,799 --> 00:12:12,958 a worldwide program of conservation 255 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:15,278 could protect the forest and Wild game 256 00:12:12,958 --> 00:12:18,638 preserves now in danger of extinction 257 00:12:15,278 --> 00:12:21,639 for all time improve the Marine Harvest 258 00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:24,519 of food from our oceans and prevent the 259 00:12:21,639 --> 00:12:27,198 contamination of air and water by 260 00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:29,639 industrial as well as nuclear 261 00:12:27,198 --> 00:12:33,278 pollution and finally a world worldwide 262 00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:35,759 program of farm productivity and food 263 00:12:33,278 --> 00:12:39,360 distribution similar to our country's 264 00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:43,000 food for peace program could now give 265 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:45,839 every child the food he needs new 266 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,799 efforts are needed if this assembly's 267 00:12:45,839 --> 00:12:52,240 Declaration of Human Rights now 15 years 268 00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:54,958 old is to have full meaning and new 269 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:58,720 means should be found for promoting the 270 00:12:54,958 --> 00:13:01,359 free expression and trade of ideas who 271 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:04,399 travel and communication and through 272 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,278 increased exchanges of people and books 273 00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:07,839 and 274 00:13:05,278 --> 00:13:10,799 broadcasts for as the world renounces 275 00:13:07,839 --> 00:13:13,399 the competition of weapons competition 276 00:13:10,799 --> 00:13:16,159 in ideas must flourish and that 277 00:13:13,399 --> 00:13:20,198 competition must be as full and as Fair 278 00:13:16,159 --> 00:13:21,919 as possible the United States delegation 279 00:13:20,198 --> 00:13:24,719 will be prepared to suggest to the 280 00:13:21,919 --> 00:13:27,719 United Nations initiatives in the 281 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,959 pursuit of all these goals for this is 282 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:33,399 an organization for peace 283 00:13:29,958 --> 00:13:34,319 and peace cannot come without work and 284 00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:36,720 without 285 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:39,959 progress the peacekeeping record of the 286 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:43,320 United Nations has been a proud one 287 00:13:39,958 --> 00:13:46,000 though its tasks are always formidable 288 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:48,920 we are fortunate to have the skills of 289 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:51,440 our distinguished Secretary General and 290 00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:54,319 the brave efforts of those who have been 291 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:58,480 serving the cause of Peace in the Congo 292 00:13:54,320 --> 00:14:00,278 in the Middle East in Korea and cashmir 293 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,759 in West Guinea and 294 00:14:00,278 --> 00:14:06,439 Malaysia but what the United Nations has 295 00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:09,399 done in the past is less important than 296 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:12,399 the tasks for the future we cannot take 297 00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:15,440 its peacekeeping machinery for granted 298 00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:18,440 that Machinery must be soundly financed 299 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:21,920 which it cannot be if some members are 300 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:24,600 allowed to prevent it from meeting its 301 00:14:21,919 --> 00:14:27,639 obligations by failing to meet their 302 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:30,360 own the United Nations must be supported 303 00:14:27,639 --> 00:14:33,360 by all those who exercise their 304 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,639 franchise here and its operations must 305 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,759 be back to the 306 00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:40,440 end to often a 307 00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:42,560 project I also hope that the recent 308 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:45,240 initiative of several members in 309 00:14:42,559 --> 00:14:47,879 preparing standby peace forces for 310 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:50,680 United Nations call will encourage 311 00:14:47,879 --> 00:14:54,480 similar commitments by others this 312 00:14:50,679 --> 00:14:56,039 nation remains ready to provide logistic 313 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:59,680 and other material 314 00:14:56,039 --> 00:15:02,480 support policing moreover is not enough 315 00:14:59,679 --> 00:15:04,519 without provision for Pacific settlement 316 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,000 we should increase the resort to special 317 00:15:04,519 --> 00:15:09,120 missions of fact finding and 318 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,600 conciliation make greater use of the 319 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,159 international court of justice and 320 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,040 accelerate the work of the international 321 00:15:14,159 --> 00:15:17,958 law 322 00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:20,360 commission the United Nations cannot 323 00:15:17,958 --> 00:15:22,758 survive as a static 324 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:25,959 organization its obligations are 325 00:15:22,759 --> 00:15:27,318 increasing as well as its size its 326 00:15:25,958 --> 00:15:30,439 Charter must be 327 00:15:27,318 --> 00:15:32,639 changed as well as its Customs the 328 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,759 authors of that Charter did not intend 329 00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:37,399 that it be frozen in 330 00:15:34,759 --> 00:15:41,480 perpetuity the science of weapons and 331 00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:45,198 War has made us all far more than 18 332 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:49,440 years ago in San Francisco one world and 333 00:15:45,198 --> 00:15:53,559 one human race with one common Destiny 334 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:57,040 in such a world absolute sovereignty no 335 00:15:53,559 --> 00:15:59,559 longer assures us of absolute security 336 00:15:57,039 --> 00:16:02,799 the conventions of peace must pull a 337 00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:06,838 breast and then ahead of the inventions 338 00:16:02,799 --> 00:16:10,000 of war the United Nations building on 339 00:16:06,839 --> 00:16:12,399 its successes and learning from its 340 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,000 failures must be developed into a 341 00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:18,519 genuine World security 342 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:23,559 system but peace does not 343 00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:26,318 rest two years ago I told this body that 344 00:16:23,559 --> 00:16:29,479 the United States had proposed and was 345 00:16:26,318 --> 00:16:32,519 willing to sign a limited test B B 346 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:36,240 treaty today that treaty has been 347 00:16:32,519 --> 00:16:39,440 signed it will not put an end to war it 348 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:42,839 will not remove basic conflicts it will 349 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,639 not secure freedom for all but it can be 350 00:16:42,839 --> 00:16:46,319 a 351 00:16:43,639 --> 00:16:49,079 lever and aredes in explaining the 352 00:16:46,318 --> 00:16:50,759 principles of the lever were said to 353 00:16:49,078 --> 00:16:53,399 have declared to his 354 00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:56,440 friends give me a place where I can 355 00:16:53,399 --> 00:16:59,399 stand and I shall move the 356 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:03,160 world my fellow inhabitants 357 00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:05,720 of this planet let us take our stand 358 00:17:03,159 --> 00:17:09,279 here in this assembly of 359 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:13,640 Nations and let us see that if we in our 360 00:17:09,279 --> 00:17:17,318 own time can move the world to a just 361 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,319 and Lasting peace 362 00:17:17,730 --> 00:17:53,298 [Applause]
