Mr. JOHNSON of Texas announced that the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Hon. Harold Macmillan, would address the Senate, and asked that a committee be appointed by the Chair to escort the distinguished visitor to the rostrum, and the Senate then stand in recess subject to the call of the Chair.

The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. BYRD of West Virginia in the chair) appointed as the committee, Mr. JOHNSON of Texas, Mr. DIRKSEN, Mr. FULBRIGHT, and Mr. WILEY; and, at 2 o'clock and 41 minutes p.m.,

The Senate took a recess subject to the call of the Chair.

The committee escorted the Prime Minister to the rostrum and, welcomed on behalf of the Senate by the Vice President, the Prime Minister addressed the Senate as follows:

Mr. Vice President, gentlemen, it is a very great honor that you are paying me today, and, through me, to the people of Great Britain. I feel it to be an act of real friendship.

You gave me a similar privilege only a few years ago, and I remember making, in the same way, without notes, as I must do again today, a short speech to you.

Fortunately, both you and I have forgotten what I then said. Therefore, if I should repeat it in any way, nobody will be any the worse.

I was brought up by my mother to regard a Senator of the United States as the highest point of human felicity and dignity that it is possible to attain. I am bound to say that as children we were rather skeptical about this view which she expressed. But having had for the second time the honor of being received by you, I realize that in this, as in so many other things, my dear mother was right.

As we look back upon the history of our countries, with the deep roots from which we are sprung-the literature, the language, the struggle, and the strifeit is deeply moving to me to come here once more and to speak in this august assembly.

I am not, of course, in any way an Englishman. I think I have no English blood. I am half Scot and half Ameri

can. Well, that is a very good mixture. But the English people have their merits, too. They are tolerant. They allow themselves to be governed by the Scots. They are patient, and they are loyal.

In my lifetime your country and mine have suffered together, fought side by side, and are more determined than ever to work together for the peace and happiness of all the world.

It is for me a very happy feeling that I am able to make occasional visits here without all the paraphernalia of a formal visit. Those are very agreeable, too, only rather exhausting. But I can come and see the heads of your Government and your ministers and be introduced here. It is rather like dropping in as a friend. It is that relationship between your administration and ours which it is so necessary to maintain, and even to improve and strengthen.

Of course, there will be disagreements of emphasis and different points of view. I am told that even in this Chamber and in this Congress there are different points of view about a large number of questions. I shall not attempt to talk out any question or speak so long upon it that it would be disagreeable to you, and remind you, perhaps, of a procedure that I rather wish we had at home. It is a good idea.

But I would just say this. I have the feeling that we do not negotiate. Our Governments negotiate hardly at all. We try to sit as if we were partners in an enterprise, each giving our view as to the best course to follow; not negotiate, to gain an advantage here or there, but to sit genuinely as partners might in a big business or other enterprise, to pool our ideas for a common purpose

You know and I know that the world has many troubles and many dangers. I feel frankly that there has been in the last year some improvement and some relaxation of tension between the great groupings of the Eastern and Western Powers.

It was just about a year ago, I think, that I went with the Foreign Secretary of my Government to Moscow. I did this, of course, upon my own responsibility. Such visiting was not always quite popular at the moment; but really, while this was then thought to be a little novel, it has become very fashionable and all the heads of government visit one another almost all the time. They go from one country to the other. I think it is a good thing, because the more there is of this contact between governments, even of powers grouped upon different sides, the less likely, I think, that, either by mischance, mistake, folly, or malice, any of them would commit the atrocious act of bringing upon the world a third war, which we all know in our hearts would be destructive of everything that we cherish, and of everything in which we believe-destructive, almost, of the very existence of human life on earth.

I feel, therefore, that there has been some improvement, and that while we must walk warily, while we must not be caught or trapped into some agreements which are not to our advantage, yet we

must also have some faith in the future. We must have our feet upon the ground, of course; but we must also have our eyes upon the horizon.

It is in that spirit that I feel our countries work together. It is because, through the history of your struggleswhether internal or external-and our struggles, those struggles have been fought by men and won by men who had the combination of faith, without which they could not succeed, of courage, and of skill.

We need such men now. We will not be deceived. We will not be caught or entrapped or entangled; we must not be caught in our own traps, entangled in nets of our own making. We must try to cut through the jungle and go forward wtih faith.

me.

Mr. Vice President, once again I should like to thank all the Senate, through you, for this high privilege you have accorded Yours is a country of immense strength, vast area, and great population. But at heart, as I know well, your people, like ours, are simple people. Most of us come to cherish the homes, the upbringing, and the faith in which we were reared. I regard it as a great moment when I, the grandson of a Scottish crofter and of a settler who went out to Indiana, am allowed to address the Senate of the United States.

Following the conclusion of his address, the Prime Minister was escorted from the Chamber by the committee.

AT 2 O'CLOCK AND 54 MINUTES P.M. The VICE PRESIDENT called the Senate to order.
