Secretary-General U Thant congratulating Dr. Waldheim shortly after he had taken the oath of office as Secretary-General of the UN. U Thant remarked: “I know that he is held in very high esteem by all of those who have come to know him during his many years in New York. Apart from his well-known diplomatic ability, he has also shown a special talent for conciliation in his work as Chairman of the Outer Space Committee and in other United Nations bodies. I wish him every success in his new and high responsibilities.” [photo: United Nations]
