Paris, June 1, 1961: President John F. Kennedy addresses the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Permanent Council during the first overseas visit of his presidency. After meetings with French President Charles De Gaulle, he flew to Vienna for a summit with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev; on the way home, he visited England and met with Queen Elizabeth and Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.
