NATO Summit: Prepared Speeches and Few Results - Raymond Kosanke & Henry Sturcke - June 1975

Raymond Kosanke & Henry Sturcke

BRUSSELS: The trip by President Gerald Ford to NATO headquarters here - an attempt to reassure European allies of the U.S. commitment to the 26-year-old alliance - is now history. Yet, despite the flurry of activities, speeches, bilateral and multilateral meetings, the most immediate security threat to Europe and the West was not even mentioned in the communique produced at the end of the two-day NATO summit. At a time when many Europeans are wondering about the relevance of the alliance, nothing is being done within the NATO framework to enable its European members to meet the immediate dangers facing them. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
