| Description: | PRESIDENT EISENHOWER'S 5th ANNIVERSARY IN OFFICE - COMMENTS AT NEWS CONFERENCE Washington DC, United States of America (USA). GV. Assembly rising as American President Dwight Eisenhower (Ike) enters the newsroom. SV. President Eisenhower standing by microphone. Q. Edward T. Folliard, Washington Post: Could you tell us, Mr. President, on the eve of this anniversary how you feel physically, and how you feel about your august office? THE PRESIDENT. I think this ought to be a serial presentation-[laughter]--don't you? First of all, about my physical condition: I have had three illnesses, with serious implications at least, and this after a history of remarkable health throughout my lifetime. ... I am optimistic enough to say this, that as long as I am able, I am going to carry on just exactly as I have in the past, and with no thought of it, and from there on it is in the lap of the gods, and that's that. Q. Michael J. O'Neill, New York Daily News: Mr. President, Secretary Dulles has been coming under increasing criticism as you know, both here and abroad, and it has been reported that he recently submitted his resignation to you and that you rejected it. I wonder if you could confirm this report and tell us whether or not you feel that this criticism is in any way impairing-- THE PRESIDENT. Have you seen that report or have you written it yourself? Q. Mr. O'Neill: No, sir; but it was in the newspapers. THE PRESIDENT. It was? Well then, I would say, I would class it as trash. The last person that I would want to see resign is Mr. Dulles. I Cut-ins of the assembly and reporters taking notes. BV. Reporters rising and leaving. | |
