Berlin Crisis and U S Promise Not to Abandon West Berlin
Former secretary of state Dean Acheson in New York outlined U S commitments to West Berlin. He stressed Allied access, air freedom, and garrison stays tied to Berlin residents’ wishes, plus nonrecognition of other governments for German areas until free elections. He warned Khrushchev could push Berlin to undermine Western unity while East German economy realigns toward Warsaw Pact partners. He noted interlude of quiet but warned of potential moves if Berlin is endangered.
