Dwight D. Eisenhower: "Atoms for Peace"

Madam President and Members of the General Assembly:

When Secretary General Hammarskjold’s invitation to

address this General Assembly reached me in Bermuda, I

was just beginning a series of conferences with the Prime

Ministers and Foreign Ministers of Great Britain and of

France. Our subject was some of the problems that beset

our world.

During the remainder of the Bermuda Conference, I had

constantly in mind that ahead of me lay a great honor.

That honor is mine today, as I stand here, privileged to

address the General Assembly of the United Nations.

At the same time that I appreciate the distinction of

addressing you, I have a sense of exhilaration as I look

upon this Assembly. Never before in history has so much

hope for so many people been gathered together in a

single organization. Your deliberations and decisions

during these somber years have already realized part of

those hopes.

But the great tests and the great accomplishments

still lie ahead. And in the confident expectation of

those accomplishments, I would use the office which, for

the time being, I hold, to assure you that the Government

of the United States will remain steadfast in its support

of this body. This we shall do in the conviction that you

will provide a great share of the wisdom, of the courage,

and the faith which can bring to this world lasting peace

for all nations, and happiness and well-being for all

men.

Clearly, it would not be fitting for me to take this

occasion to present to you a unilateral American report

on Bermuda. Nevertheless, I assure you that in our

deliberations on that lovely island we sought to invoke

those same great concepts of universal peace and human

dignity which are so cleanly etched in your Charter.

Neither would it be a measure of this great opportunity

merely to recite, however hopefully, pious platitudes.

I therefore decided that this occasion warranted my

saying to you some of the things that have been on the

minds and hearts of my legislative and executive

associates, and on mine, for a great many months --

thoughts I had originally planned to say primarily to the

American people.

I know that the American people share my deep belief

that if a danger exists in the world, it is a danger

shared by all; and equally, that if hope exists in the

mind of one nation, that hope should be shared by all.

Finally, if there is to be advanced any proposal

designed to ease even by the smallest measure the

tensions of today’s world, what more appropriate

audience could there be than the members of the General

Assembly of the United Nations. I feel impelled to speak

today in a language that in a sense is new, one which I,

who have spent so much of my life in the military

profession, would have preferred never to use. That new

language is the language of atomic warfare.

The atomic age has moved forward at such a pace that

every citizen of the world should have some

comprehension, at least in comparative terms, of the

extent of this development, of the utmost significance to

everyone of us. Clearly, if the peoples of the world are

to conduct an intelligent search for peace, they must be

armed with the significant facts of today’s existence.

My recital of atomic danger and power is necessarily

stated in United States terms, for these are the only

incontrovertible facts that I know. I need hardly point

out to this Assembly, however, that this subject is

global, not merely national in character.
