In hopeful theory at least, the plan should eliminate all substandard housing in the nation. If Congress approves, the construction of 6,000,000 of the homes...

In addition, Rusk pointed out that in 1965 and 1966 three Soviet spy ships had violated the U.S. three-mile limit-twice off Puerto Rico, once off San Pedro, Calif. "We didn't seize those vessels," said Rusk. "We simply required them to depart." As legal support for this "civilized practice among nations...
