189. Editorial Note
On September 26, Secretary-General Hammarskjöld addressed the U.N. General Assembly, responding to criticism of the United Nations and its Secretariat which Chairman Khrushchev had voiced 3 days earlier. The New York Times reported that as Hammarskjöld spoke, Khrushchev pounded his fist on his desk. Other members of the Soviet Delegation joined him. (September 27, 1960, page A16) For a record of these proceedings and the text of Hammarskjöld’s statement, see U.N. doc. A/PV.871.
