211. Editorial Note
On October 7, 1966, President Johnson addressed the National Conference of Editorial Writers at their conference in New York. In commenting on the European situation, the President stressed that the United States and its European allies must move ahead on three fronts: “First, to modernize NATO and strengthen other Atlantic alliances. Second, to further the integration of the Western European community. Third, to quicken progress in East-West relations.”
The President then outlined what steps needed to be taken on each of these fronts. For text of his remarks on this occasion, see Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: Lyndon B. Johnson, 1966, pages 1125–1130.
