Support, but do you know where Eisenhower was when he gave the speech, and how many radio/TV networks broadcasted it? Zginder 2008-07-15T14:18Z (UTC)
- He was in the Oval Office, however, I don't know how many networks broadcast it. Given the time period, I'd suspect most of the major ones (in America, possibly a scattering elsewhere). Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 12:20, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
