119. Editorial Note
On December 15, following an address Ambassador Lodge made before the U.N. Correspondents Association, the Mission at the United Nations released a statement by Lodge evaluating the accomplishments of the 14th regular session of the U.N. General Assembly. Noting that there were many “worthwhile accomplishments,” Lodge identified 11 as “outstanding as they affect the United Nations’ future and its ability to survive and to meet its responsibilities.” These items included continued funding for the U.N. Emergency Force, creation of the U.N. Committee on Outer Space, protest of the situation in Hungary, exclusion of the Chinese Communists from the United Nations, and authorization of a management survey of the U.N. Secretariat. For text of the statement, see American Foreign Policy: Current Documents, 1959, pages 116–118.
