Speech delivered at the officers' club (June 16, 1959).

We are not against parties nor are we against the loyal groups, we are always with them, helping them across the ocean of this life.

The reason for this, brothers, is to preserve the unity of the Army and make it always ready to serve the people and the freedom of the people.
