Remarks to the Press Following a Meeting With the U.S. Representative to the Eighteen-Nation Disarmament Committee in Geneva
I just had a very extended, interesting, and, I think, very satisfactory and hopeful meeting with Ambassador Foster. As you know, he is one of our most devoted public servants. For many years he has served his country with great credit. He is returning to Geneva tomorrow.
We look forward to the conclusion of a very long exercise of wisdom, patience, and dedication upon Mr. Foster's part.
Thank you.
Note: The President spoke at 12 noon in the Fish Room at the White House.
Following his remarks Ambassador William C, Foster made a brief statement and responded to reporters' questions concerning progress in Geneva towards conclusion of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty. The full text of Ambassador Foster's remarks is printed in the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents (vol. 3, p. 1126).
