[VIDEO] Jan. 15, 1964 | LBJ Meets with Italian President Antonio Segni

Jan. 15, 1964 - President Johnson and Italian President Antonio Segni declared tonight that the West should lay new proposals before the Geneva disarmament conference in an effort to ease East-West tensions. In a final communique summing up two days of talks, the two statesmen voiced the hope that the Soviet Union would “respond constructively” to the initiative.

Earlier today, Segni proclaimed Italy’s full support for creation of a united Europe “tied to America by indissoluble bonds.” In an address to a joint session of Congress, the Italian leader painted the same vision of an Atlantic partnership which the late President Kennedy described in his famous American University speech last spring.
