Press Release from HSC 1961: Concerning Comments made by the Delegation from The United States of America at Previous Press Conference

Earlier tonight, The United States of America held a press conference about the possibility of the Congo being ruled by a pro non-aligned movement government, it seems clear to The United States of America now, that Patrice Lamumba is not that man, and his supporters are not that government. Despite the sentiments offered by The United States of America, asking only that a potential government run by Lumbumba, be a non-aligned member state to the United Nations, in the event of a Lumumba victory in elections. That sentiment and show of good faith, however, has not been reciprocated. Intelligence reports have been confirmed that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has continued to supply aid and meddle in the affairs of Lumumba’s government. The United States of America is deeply saddened by this lack of cooperation, it was the United States who asked the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to remove their aid and influence from the Lumumban government, as the United States, has both promised and followed through on halting arms sales to Mobutu’s government. Again, this show of good faith and willingness to put our partisan differences aside to construct a Congo, was flatly rejected by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, as they continue to supply aid, and continue to meddle, in Lumumba’s government. In addition, it should be noted that the policy of containment is still one The United States of America will uphold. If the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics does not wish to follow through on their promises, one thing remains certain, The United States of America, will.
