Accessed Fri Jun 5 2015 from NBC Learn: https://highered.nbclearn.com/portal/site/HigherEd/browse/?cuecard=1551 Transcript Dean Acheson Discusses Russian Disarmament at the UN JOHN CAMERON SWAYZE: State Secretary Acheson just back from Europe, had a few comments on progress at the Untied Nations. Secretary of State DEAN ACHESON: I’ve been asked what was the most important event in the General Assembly meeting in Paris, and I think there is no question about the answer to that. The most important event was the proposal, which the President directed that I should join with Mr. Eden and Mr. Schumann in putting forward a disarmament proposal. That proposal, if the Russians would join in a wholehearted way, going into it and developing it, might well become a turning point in history. This afternoon I read with very great sorrow a speech made by Mr. Vishinsky before the political committee in Paris, in which he takes a most unconstructive attitude. I’ve also been asked by some of the ship’s newsmen who got aboard, what are the qualifications for being a secretary of state in these days. And I said that the first qualification is that he’s got to be a traveling salesman, and the second qualification is that he’s got to have a cast iron stomach. © 2008-2015 NBCUniversal Media, LLC.
