"Those who have elected to accept the responsibility of beingadvocates to the United Nations have taken on a noble andformidable task. . . . I don't think we should be afraid of what wedo or be intimidated by those who are our detractors. There are alot of them. If the world were not in trouble there would be no needfor us. ... If there is one thing that we are responsible for, it is tomake sure that we hold leadership and power accountable. "

Mrs. Kattis AhlstromSaltsjo

Your words have dramatized and publicized critically important issues,while deepening public understanding and strengthening support for theUnited Nations. I am deeply grateful for this.
