| Description: | Image quality is not great. Ike's Mission: States Goal of His Global Tour. Just before departing on his historic visit to 11 nations, President Dwight D. Eisenhower states to America the goal of his unprecedented mission, to dispel the doubts lingering abroad as to America's good-will and peaceful intentions with all the prestige he has to muster. Press conference. Ike speaks (nat sound), not reading but improvising, so it's not a smooth speech. He says he wants to visit other nations to communicate the United States' goal of pursuing peace, and to prove that the U.S. is not aggressive and seeks no other nations' territory. | |
