00:00This is Williamsburg, Virginia, United States of America, September 1966.
00:27These streets, these halls, are quiet now.
00:32Nearly 200 years ago, voices rang out here to demand independence for a new country,
00:38dedicated to the right of all nations to decide their own destinies.
00:46Today, the town awaits a group of distinguished visitors from Burma,
00:51another country dedicated to national independence.
00:57The visitors. General Ne Win, chairman of the Revolutionary Council of the Union of Burma,
01:05Madame Ne Win, and their official party.
01:09It is a quiet arrival in a town restored to its appearance 200 years ago.
01:14An atmosphere for reflection and thought, for there will be much to discuss in the coming days of the state visit.
01:22In the morning, there is a chance to visit scenes of early American history,
01:26a country which, like Burma, was once a colony.
01:38The quiet will not last for long, for the people of the United States are eager to greet the Burmese leader.
01:58For several days now, preparations for the special guests have been underway in Washington.
02:06In moments, the official welcome by President Johnson will begin.
02:22A prelude to the serious discussions to follow between the two heads of state.

04:15Mr. President, first of all, may I express to you and Mrs. Johnson and to the American people our heartfelt thanks for the warm welcome extended to me and my wife and the members of my party.
04:36I have looked forward to meeting you, Mr. President, and other American leaders because I am convinced that such personal contacts will serve to create a better understanding and appreciation of each other and thereby enable us to cooperate fruitfully in the common task of building a peaceful and prosperous world.
05:06After the salute, a full dress parade through the streets of Washington.
05:36The general will stay at Blair House, official guest residence across the street from the White House.

06:14Further talks with George W. Ball, acting Secretary of State.
06:20With Averill Harriman, United States Ambassador-at-Large.
06:25For Madam Naywin, there is time to visit the Catholic University School of Nursing, where she once studied.
06:32There is time for a tribute by the general to the tomb of America's unknown servicemen who died to help others live in peace.

06:48To get the best of the world, Ali, and to work.
06:49Please.
06:50For now, Mr. Randall, you're in debt.
06:51非常-skinned.
06:51We have no finding if this is a story for a historical period of life.
06:52For now, of course, there is a story in the late 20th century.
06:54The original to the first time in it is a story of the story of a old man, the old man, the old man, the old man.
06:55This is a story of the nature of the name, the old man.
06:56I have to talk to the story of the night, the old man.
06:56This is a story of the story of a new man, the old man.
06:56I had to talk to the 80-year man, but they were going to take the right-below, and the old man.
06:57And a tribute to President John F. Kennedy.
07:27At the White House, President Johnson awaits him for their first of two conferences.
07:47They exchange views on world issues and Burmese-American relations.
07:51The talks are cordial.
07:53Both leaders express mutual regard.
07:56The general comments,
07:58We have sought to build our relations with all other countries on the basis of mutual respect, of equality, of non-interference in each other's internal affairs.
08:11President Johnson adds,
08:13This ultimate goal is one we both can share.
08:21The talks take place near monuments to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, reflecting the principles on which the United States was built. The right of any nation to independence without outside interference.
08:36In between the serious talks, time for receptions and visits to renew old friendships and make new ones.
08:48In the last many countries where we have a very remarkable andeyes to attend.
08:50In the last 15 years, we have stayed with the public andtheists of the United States.
08:52And they all know who they are, so we are in one country by the country by the United States.
08:56And they all know who they are.
08:57If you're not worth it, then you have to know who they are.
08:58In the farewell to President Johnson,
09:27General Neh Nguyen comments,
09:29I need hardly say these talks have proved extremely useful.
09:33I shall go back to Burma with a better understanding
09:36of your great country and its people.
