Unfortunately. the brutal suppression of the Hungarian revolution of November 1956 makes this a sad occasion. To me. this brutal suppression is particularly vivid. as I was on that Hungarian border. at the bridge of Andau. as thousands upon thousands of Hungarians walked to freedom through the freezing cold. the mines. and the barbed wire. My admiration for these brave people and for their ideals increased with the passing of the ensuing year I spent working with the Hungarian refugees. Mr. President. all those who enjoy the blessings of freedom extend their sympathy and admiration to the brave Hungarians who throughout history have demonstrated their desire to be free.
