Excerpt of Krushchev's response to a speech made by U.S. President, John F. Kennedy.
"Our delegation agrees completely with what Comrade Ulbricht has reported. ... We must wring this peace treaty ... They [the Western powers] had hauled Germany into the Western bloc, and Germany became split into two parts. The peace treaty will give legitimacy to this split. ... It will weaken the West and, of course, the West will not agree with it. Their eviction from West Berlin will mean closing of the channels for their subversive activities against us.
