RESTRICTS D
ANNEX
TRANSCRIPT OF THE SECRETARY'S REMARKS ON THE PALESTINE PROBLEM
"The General Assembly is also faced with the problem of
Palestine. The Government of the United States intends to do every-
thing within its power at this session of the General Assembly to
assist in finding a solution for this difficult problem which has
stirred up such violent passions, and which is now resulting in the
shedding of blood and in great mental and moral anguish. The
solution will require of each of us courage and resolution. It will
also require restraint.
"The Special Committee on Palestine is to be highly commended
for its contribution to the solution of this problem. Although the
members of this Committee were not able to agree unanimously upon a
number of important issues, including that of partition, they have
been able to find the basis for agreement on eleven recommendations
to this Assembly. Their achievement in reaching unanimity on so
many points represents definite progress.
"We realize that, whatever the solution recommended by the
General Assembly it cannot be ideally satisfactory to either of the
two great peoples primarily concerned. While the final decision of
this Assembly must properly await the detailed consideration of the
report, the Government of the United States gives great weight not
only to the recomnendations which have met with the unanimous
approval of the Special Committee but also to those which have been
approved by the majority of that Committee."
