On May 11, after the press conference convoked: by .
A. GROMYKO, Minister of Foreign Relations of the USSR, the Soviet
and foreign journalists were invited to view the exhibit of the remainders
of the North American plane.
The journalists met at the exhibition N. ‘S..KHRUSHCHEV, who,
after having examined them and conversed with the experts, was about
to leave. The newspapermen surrounded N. &. KHRUSHCHEV and
engaged him in a conversation. OS
They showed satisfaction that an opportunity had been given them
to see the remainders of the plane and the equipment and special apparatuses
which it contained.
N. S. KHRUSHCHEV stated: "I see that the press conference has
left you satisfied. Iam sure that you have received an answer to all the
questions which were of interest to you. I have already told you that
we have the intention of placing before the Security Council the problem
of the aggressive penetration of a North American plane in our land,
If the Security Council, upon which the United States of America will
certainly exert pressure, will not adopt a just decision, we shall
place the problem before the General Assembly of the UN. Such
acts of aggression on the part of the United States of America are
a sufficiently dangerous . phenomenon,
"The danger is increased by the fact that the Secretary of State,
of the United States, Mr. HERTER, in his declaration of May 10,
. even . justified the perpetrated aggression, without manifesting
further that the Government of the United States would give up its
intention of effecting subsequent flights of this nature. This isa
direct threat to peace. We shall destroy these airplanes and deliver
blows at the bases from which they come to our country. Can you
understand that if such acts of aggression continue, it will lead us to
Question: . “Can I ask one question?" one of the correspondents ee
asked N. 8. KHRUSHCHEV. ,
N. S. KHRUSHCHEV: “Two if you want to." (Animation) |
