John F. Kennedy

Remarks of welcome at the white house to president tito of yugoslavia.

Mr. President:

I take great pleasure in welcoming you to the United States. I hope during this visit we can reciprocate some of the hospitality that you have shown to members of the United States Government, both members of the Cabinet and most recently Members of the Congress, in your own country.

This is a difficult and dangerous world in which we live. I think it is most important that we have--across the distance of water and across perhaps a difference in political philosophy--that we have an understanding of the basic policies and objectives of the countries through the globe so that danger may be lessened.

We are very glad to have you here, Mr. President, so that you can see something of the United States. I am glad you are going to the South and then to the West. This is a vigorous and progressive people that you will see. Nature has been very generous to us, and I think that your visit here, where I am sure you will be warmly and hospitably treated and welcomed, will give you a greater understanding of the policies and objectives and meaning of the United States of America.

So this visit is very welcome. We are very glad to have you here at the White House, and I hope as a result of your visit that the relations between our two peoples will become stronger and that our commitments to national independence will be strengthened.

So, Mr. President, we are very glad to welcome you and your distinguished wife, the members of your government, here to the White House.

Note: The President spoke at 11:45 a.m. on the South Lawn at the White House where President Josip Broz Tito was given a formal welcome with full military honors.

In his response President Tito expressed his thanks for the friendly reception and his pleasure at the prospect of discussing with President Kennedy questions of concern to both countries. He looked forward also, he added, to seeing at least a part of the United States and to observing at firsthand "some of the great achievements of the hard-working American people."

Speaking of the United States and Yugoslavia as nations linked since the end of the First World War by their common devotion to the ideals embodied in the Charter of the United Nations, President Tito said his government had always wished to maintain good and friendly relations with the United States. "I believe," he concluded, "that our exchanges will contribute both to the stability of our good relations and our mutually beneficial cooperation, and will also reflect our common interest in the preservation and strengthening of peace in the world." President Tito closed by conveying the "friendly greetings of the people of Yugoslavia to the people of the United States of America."

In his closing remarks President Kennedy referred to President Tito's wife, Jovanka, who accompanied her husband.

Tito to Visit Nixon in Capital Today

By Bernard Gwertzman Special to The New York Times

• Oct. 28, 1971

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 — President Tito of Yugoslavia arrived today for the start of a week‐long visit to the United States.

Shortly after his Soviet‐built tourboprop airliner landed at nearby Andrews Air Force Base, the 79‐year‐old Communist leader was taken by Marine Corps helicopter to Camp David, President Nixon's retreat in Maryland. The Yugoslav leader will spend the evening there and will be formally welcomed at the White House tomorrow.

State Department officials said that Mr. Nixon's decision to put Camp David at the disposal of Marshal Tito reflected Mr. Nixon's personal esteem for him. On Friday, in an effort to head off any incidents by Ser bian or Croat émigré groups, Mr. Nixon issued a special state ment calling on Americans to show respect and courtesy for his guest.

For security reasons, the State Department has not yet made public President Tito's itinerary after he leaves Wash ington on Saturday morning. It is known that he is due to visit Houston, San Francisco and Los Angeles before going on to Ottawa next Tuesday.

Security at Andrews Air Force Base was tighter than usual, with an Air Force sharpshooter stationed on the roof of the operations building. The con cern for security reflects the Administration's desire to avoid a repetition of an incident in 1963 when several members of his party were roughed up while Marshal Tito was visiting New York.

Administration sources said that Mr. Nixon was interested in learning President Tito's im pressions of Leonid I. Brezhnev, the Soviet party leader, who visited Belgrade in September and who will be Mr. Nixon's host in Moscow next May. Pres dent Tito has indicated interest in the United States effort to improve relations with Peking since only in the last two years has his Government been able to re‐establish normal re lations with Communist China.

President Tito has recently visited Cairo and has been briefed on the Egyptian Middle East position. He is expected to seek clarification for the Egyptians on certain aspects of the current American effort for an interim Mideast agreement including the opening of the Suez Canal.

American officials said they believed President Tito regarded Mr. Nixon's invitation, which the White House tomorrow, as a personal triumph, a sign and the respectability that his Com munist country has gained in the West in recent years.

Marshal Tito's advisers were also hoping that the visit would result in a further improvement in relations between the United States and Yugoslavia and an increase in trade, which at pre sent is about $100‐million a year.

Tito Considering Visit to United States In Spring, Yugoslav Aide Tells Carter

Yugoslav President Tito is considering visiting the United States next spring, a member of the Yugoslav government told President Carter at the White House yesterday.

Edward Kardelj, a member of the Yugoslav presidency, told Carter that the 84-year-old Marshal Tito had accepted his invitation to visit the United States and is "thinking of coming here sometime next spring."

"That's good news for me," the President replied.

It was also disclosed yesterday that Tito recently sent Carter a letter relaying the North Korean government's interest in meeting with American officials.

The U.S. response, according to the President's national security adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, was that the United States "is not seeking a meeting" with the North Koreans but would attend one on condition that South Korea was also invited to participate.

Brzezinski said that condition "is an unshakable commitment on our part and that the United States will not "be a party either to the isolation ot undermining of South Korea."

The message relayed through Tito was the third time since Carter's election last November that North Korea has sent him a message indicating an interest in a meeting. After each one, U.S. officials have replied they would attend such a meeting only if South Korea also is invited.

In other developments yesterday, White House officials said the President plans to brief "the appropriate Senate committee" next week on progress in the strategic arms limitation talks with the Soviet Union. It has not been decided whether that will be the Foreign Relations ot Armed Services committee.

Plans for a trip by Carter across the country Oct. 21 and 22 were also made public. On Oct. 21, the President will address a public forum and conduct "a dialogue with urban poor people" in Detroit, and that night address the lowa Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner in Des Moines.

On Oct. 22, Carter will visit the headquarters of the Strategic Air Command near Ohama, Neb., attend a discussion on water policy and a briefing on the Panama Canal treaties in Denver and that night address a Democratic Party fund-raising dinner in Los Angeles. He will return to Washington after the dinner, arriving early on the morning of Oct. 23.

Late yesterday, Carter left for Camp David, Md., where he will spend the weekend. He will celebrate his 53d birthday at Camp David today.

Foreign Relations of the United States, 1955–1957, Central and Southeastern Europe, Volume XXVI

301. report prepared by the operations coordinating board 1.

PROGRESS REPORT ON “UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD YUGOSLAVIA” ( NSC 5601) 2

(Policy Approved by the President January 24, 1956)

(Period Covered: September 6, 1956 through April 24, 1957)

A. Summary of Operating Progress in Relation to Major NSC Objectives 3

1. OCB Recommendation Regarding Policy Review. The OCB notes the NSC directive for a review of NSC 5601, contained in paragraph 24 of NSC 5616/2, 4 but considers that in the light of operating experience to date, and of anticipated future developments, there is no urgency for a review from the OCB standpoint.

2. Summary Evaluations. On October 15, 1956 the President issued the finding with regard to continued aid to Yugoslavia required by [Page 769] Section 143 of the Mutual Security Act of 1954 as amended. This action was based on a determination that Yugoslavia remained independent of Soviet control and that U.S. objectives would, on balance, continue to be served by U.S. support of Yugoslavia. The finding permitted economic aid to Yugoslavia to go forward, but deferred a decision with regard to military aid with the exception of spare parts and maintenance items. (See paragraphs 3.a. and 6.)

3. Status of and Progress on U.S. Commitments for Funds, Goods or Services and Other Programs.

4. New U.S. Commitments for Funds, Goods or Services Entered Into During the Reporting Period.

No new commitments except as in 3.b. and 3.c.

B. Major Operating Problems or Difficulties Facing the United States

5. Hungarian Refugees. As of March 1, 1957, there were over 17,000 Hungarian refugees in Yugoslavia. UN observers have reported that conditions of housing and feeding provided by the Yugoslavs are roughly comparable to Austrian standards. New refugee flow has been reduced to a trickle and it is unlikely that the number in Yugoslavia will exceed 20,000. To date, about 400 have settled permanently in Yugoslavia, over 250 have gone from Yugoslavia to Western countries other than the United States, and almost 1,800 have voluntarily returned to Hungary. The Yugoslavs complain that the refugees represent a heavy economic burden to them, and continue to press the West for financial and material assistance in caring for the refugees, as well as for action to remove some of the refugees to the countries of second asylum. No refugees will be taken directly into the U.S. from Yugoslavia on parole, at least until the proposed amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act have been acted upon. However, the Department of State is seeking to work out a plan (for which $2 million has been allocated) for helping the Intergovernmental Committee for European Migration to move 10,000 Hungarians from Yugoslavia to countries of permanent resettlement or secondary asylum. Some U.S. assistance for interim care and maintenance of the refugees is also being considered.

6. Military Aid. The resumption in March 1956 of previously programmed deliveries, following a 10-months’ suspension, continued for less than four months before another partial suspension was instituted on the basis of Congressional hesitancy about aid for Yugoslavia. In October 1956 this partial suspension was extended to all items except spare parts and maintenance equipment. The Departments of State and Defense have reviewed this situation a number of times in recent months, and an early decision on a resumption of relatively normal shipments appears probable. Such a decision is required to avoid expensive prolonged storage of jet aircraft incorporated in prior programs. On the political level the Yugoslavs have requested a decision and on the working level Yugoslav military officers have made it apparent to American Military Assistance Staff officers in Belgrade that the present stoppage is materially affecting the tactical efficiency of the Yugoslav Air Force. A similar problem exists concerning three OSP minesweepers which have been completed for [Page 772] the Yugoslavs in French yards and which are now using up urgently needed harbor space.

7. Tito Visit. After premature reports of a possible visit to the United States by Tito began circulating publicly, Congressional and press opposition mounted rapidly. In the face of the unfavorable atmosphere building up here, the Yugoslav press announced Tito ’s unwillingness to visit the U.S. under such conditions, at least for the time being. Yugoslav officials have since expressed their disappointment at the foregoing incident and have pointed out that recent attempts by the Soviets to pressure the Yugoslavs into ideological conformity have been encouraged, in part, by the Soviet belief that Yugoslavia has become relatively isolated in relations with the United States. Nevertheless, a visit is now unlikely this year in the absence of a renewed high-level U.S. initiative.

8. Yugoslav Request for Long-Term Aid. The Yugoslavs, on November 30, 1956, formally requested a five-year agricultural commodity aid program of about $100 million per year, consisting mainly of wheat. As yet, no inter-agency consideration has been given to this proposal. The prospect now for a multi-year agreement of this kind for Yugoslavia is not very good. Consideration of this request will be affected by the magnitude of new PL 480 authority which may be voted by Congress, general policy regarding future multi-year agreements of this kind and the specific political problem of Yugoslavia.

9. Majdanpek Copper Project. A request for a U.S. loan of about $10 million to assist the development of a copper mining facility and related plants in Yugoslavia as part of an over-all project in which the Yugoslav Government is greatly interested is still outstanding. The Yugoslavs continue to press for support on this matter.

C. Listing of Additional Major Developments During the Period

10. Summary of Yugoslav-Soviet Relations. The instability of the supposedly equal and bilateral relationship between the Yugoslav and Soviet Communist parties created by the declaration of June 20, 1956 during Tito ’s visit to Moscow, began to manifest itself soon thereafter. A secret letter was dispatched from the Soviet Communist Party to the satellites and some West European parties warning them against Yugoslav influence tending to splinter the Soviet orbit and “proletarian international solidarity.” In September 1956 Khrushchev flew to Yugoslavia to visit Tito , with the apparent intention of securing his acquiescence in the continuation of Soviet control in the satellites. These talks were extended by a flight of Tito and Khrushchev to Yalta, but were only a limited success from the Soviet point of view. The Yugoslavs seem to have agreed to accept such Stalinist figures as Gero in Hungary, but did not agree to cease intimate party [Page 773] relations with the satellites, nor, apparently, to cease trying to influence the satellites in the direction of “national Communism.”

11. Trade With the Sino-Soviet Bloc. Yugoslav trade with the Sino-Soviet bloc expanded somewhat during the period under review. It represented 22 per cent of total Yugoslav trade during 1956. Exports amounted to $74 million, while imports totalled $105 million. The excess of imports was financed primarily by drawings of more than $26 million on Soviet and satellite credits and loans during this same period. Exports to the bloc were comprised mainly of meats, fruits, tobacco, chemicals, lead, hemp, and wool. Imports were mainly cotton, petroleum, coal, iron and steel, some machinery and paper. During recent weeks difficulties encountered both in concluding trade agreements with the USSR and Eastern Germany and in obtaining Soviet agreement on the utilization of various promised credits, indicate a reversal of the present trend of increased Yugoslav-Soviet bloc economic relationships.

GREAT BRITAIN: The Tito Visit

The last time Tito left home on a bigtrip, he went to Moscow. That was back in 1946. Last week Tito was offagain, in a different direction. No longer Communism’s leadingnon-Russian, but now the world’s leading anti-Russian Communist, he wasgoing to London to see the Queen and her ministers. Object: a fullerpartnership with the West.

He traveled on a 720-ton ex-Italian minelayer, now the Yugoslav trainingship Galeb (Seagull). The royal welcome began in the Sicilian Channel,where the British destroyers Chieftain and Chevron steamed up to convoythe dictator. At Gibraltar three more British destroyers and threeaircraft carriers joined up, cannon booming, and 60 planes roared pastin a “flyover” (three crashed, killing four officers).

Up the coast of Europe and into the English Channel moved the tinyGaleb, beneath an umbrella of R.A.F. planes. Tito transferred to thePort of London launch Nore, passed up the Thames under London’s bridges(closed off and guarded by armed police) to Westminster Pier for agrade A reception by Prime Minister Churchill, Foreign Secretary Eden,the Duke of Edinburgh, a 166-man brass band. Then a War Office armoredRolls-Royce with bulletproof windowglass whisked Tito and Churchill offto No. 10 Downing Street.

The security precautions were extraordinary. Police leaves werecanceled, and specific news of each scheduled event was blacked outuntil it was over. Scotland Yard’s Special Branch issued detailedinstructions to its security forces only at the last minute, and thennot by phone but by messenger. Chief constables throughout Britain wereordered to report on all Yugoslavs in their areas; special officers,working with the Yugoslav embassy, guarded all suspectedindividuals—monarchists, anti-Titoists, crackpots andCommunists—according to “danger value.”

Clinicians and patients love TytoCare

“TytoCare has been excellent for those middle-of-the-night worrying moments of mine as a mom, and it has definitely saved me an unnecessary visit to the doctor. TytoCare has made our Anthem plan so worthwhile.”

“TytoCare helps increase the convenience factor for families. It means less money lost for time away from work as well as less time away from school for mild to low acuity sicknesses. And for schools, they benefit because there is reduced absenteeism.”

“To partner with TytoCare and the incredible technology that they have has been a real blessing to us, but mostly to the patients we’ve had the opportunity to serve.”

“St. Luke’s Health Plan was established on the foundation of removing barriers to care and our partnership with TytoCare is a major step forward in realizing that goal.”

“No child or parent wants to go to the emergency room, so Amerigroup has taken on the challenge of helping families improve and sustain their children’s health. Amerigroup’s TytoHome initiative furthers our goal of redefining healthcare and fortifying Texas communities.”

“It is absolutely wonderful to have a comprehensive exam, which you are limited with a regular video visit. Our patients really love the TytoCare device and they think that it’s very easy to use and convenient.”

“The experience with TyoCare is very convenient, it’s very easy to use, in fact I’ve already recommended it to friends and family. We can get the same care, and it’s much more efficient and reduces our exposure.”
