Posted by on
Then
President Dwight D. Eisenhower can be seen here just after delivering a
dramatic address to the United Nations General Assembly, in New York
City. The address was given on Dec. 8, 1953 and ended this way: “The
United States pledges before you – and therefore before the world – its
determination to help solve the fearful atomic dilemma – to devote its
entire heart and mind to find the way by which the miraculous
inventiveness of man shall not be dedicated to his death, but
consecrated to this life.”
The ovation that followed lasted a full 10 minutes. The full text of the speech can be found here.https://www.eisenhower.archives.gov/research/online_documents/atoms_for_peace/Binder13.pdf
