President Eisenhower announced a six-point programme for the Middle East when he addressed the United Nations General Assembly at an emergency session in New York on August 13. The President’s proposals included sending a U.N. peace force, steps to avoid “a new arms race spiral” and a regional economic development plan. The President renewed his pledge that United States troops would be “totally withdrawn” from Lebanon “whenever this is requested by the duly constituted Government of Lebanon or whenever, through action by the United Nations or otherwise, Lebanon is no longer exposed to the original danger.”
