Eisenhower pledges Western Europe troop level as long as threat exists
President Eisenhower promised a fair share of U.S. troops will stay in Europe as long as a threat to Western security remains. In a six-point message to six Western European premiers he sought French ratification of the European Defense Community by pledging that German rearmament would not endanger France. The EDC has been ratified by Belgium, West Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. Italy and France have yet to act. He also pledged continued efforts to share information on hydrogen bomb and atomic weapons effects with U.S. allies. Senators noted the pledge and called for Congressional consultation on any new long-term commitments.
