the eve of the confeereace ? Cver 10 years ago when I was Its the
Congress I knew that therez. were forces witbt* this Nation -which
believed in preventive war., I ask today whether there might
be persons in the military who wished to torpedo the summit
conference. Was there wine ne in the Central Intelligence

y Judgment, the use of the U-Z spy plane over Russia
constituted an act of aggreserion an the put of the United States
gainst a foreign power. Not only this particular flight, but every
U+Z flight, in my Judgment, was e.n act of aggr.saeion on the part
Of the United States. Such flights over Russia constituted a
danger of provoking war. tinder the facts and circumstances, in
my jue ment, brought out in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
investigation of this blunder by the li ts*nhovrer administration was
there any justification, under international comity, for the flights
in the first instance ? Nextbor would the" be any justification for a
continuation of such flights. `*

What does the detection os: intelligonc? personnel have to do with

That is exactly what they sending of the spy plane over Russia was.
It was a form of canetri ctivte agg:tession. Vie can alibi it and
rationalises it all we want to, and we can wave the American flag

"Mr. Secretary, do you think the public knowledge now
of these American spy plane flights over f;useta has played into
the hands of C:omxnuaist propaganda with the Russian people
themselves by increasing the fear, no matter how unfounded we
know it is, the fear of the Russian people that our real objective
is to make war against T ueu sta 7'$

position of the Allies is in regari to conducting spy plane flights
over foreign territory ?,f
