Speeches
Remarks of Rep. Gerald R. Ford, Jr.
February 9, 1959
Mr. Speaker:
With the recent revelation that the United States C-130
transport was deliberately shot down over Soviet Armenia near
the Turldish border, the visit of Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan
will have to be re-evaluated. Our own State Department, in re-
leasing the transcript of the intercepted radio conversation among
Soviet fighter pilots who attacked the unarmed American Transport
plane last September, indirectly accused Mikoyan of lying about the
incident.
In light of these revelations, therefore, I am pleased to
include in my remarks two editorials from "The Western Michigan
Catholic" published at Grand Rapids.
Both editorials are by Monsignor Joseph C. Walen, The first
entitled "Why Salaams to Mikoyan?" appeared on January 15, 1959;
and the second, "Impertinent Guest" was published on January 22nd,
