Dear Dr. Cavert:
Thank you very much for the message you sent me on behalf of the National Council of the
Churches of Christ in the USA regarding the Korean Armistice.
I, too, am deeply thankful to see an end to the bloodshed, and hope that the political negotiations, soon to begin, may bring a satisfactory and durable peace. Meanwhile, it is vital that our own people continue the security effort which is the indispensable element in any further progress toward this end.
With best wishes,
Sincerely,
DwightDEisenhower
