UN AMB Arthur Goldberg June 6, 1967 Speech re: position of Sixth Fleet aircraft

Dear Mr. Meadors:

Thank you for submitting your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to
the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) via email to
foia@nara.gov. We received your request on February 28, 2025. Your
request states:

*On June 6, 1967, at the United Nations prior to the conflict later to
become known as the Six Day War, U.S. Ambassador Arthur Goldberg said to
the Security Council that aircraft of the Sixth Fleet were several hundred
miles from the conflict. We are asking for a complete copy of the comments
made by AMB Goldberg.*

Our office handles FOIA and Privacy Act requests for NARA’s operational records
(records created by this agency). Because your FOIA request is for records
that may be archival records (records created by or originated in a
different agency but that may have been transferred to the legal custody of
NARA), we are forwarding it by this email to our Office of Research
Services, Textual Reference (RR2RR) staff who handle FOIA requests for
textual archival records.

That office will assign your request a tracking number and respond directly
to you. In the future, if you need to follow up with that office directly,
please contact them at the address below, or electronically via email
(email is preferred).

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following
records:

become known as the Six Day War, U.S. Ambassador Arthur Goldberg said to
the Security Council that aircraft of the Sixth Fleet were several hundred
miles from the conflict.

We are asking for a complete copy of the comments made by AMB Goldberg.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and
this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform
me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer

PLEASE NOTE: This request is not filed by a MuckRock staff member, but is
being sent through MuckRock by the above in order to better track, share,
and manage public records requests. Also note that improperly addressed
(i.e., with the requester's name rather than "MuckRock News" and the

Dear Mr. Meadors:

This email is in response to your February 28,
2025 Freedom of Information Act request RR2RR 25-31715 concerning access to
comments U.S. Ambassador Arthur Goldberg said to the Security Council that
aircraft of the Sixth Fleet were several hundred miles from the conflict
which occurred on June 6, 1967. We received your request in our office on
March 4, 2025.

We searched our available finding aids and holdings and determined
that comments Ambassador Goldberg made to the Security Council are likely
contained in USUN Press Release # 80. We then searched our holdings for
Press Release # 80 and determined that we only have in our custody the
series: U.S. Mission To The United Nations, Press Releases, 1946-1966;
Entry A1 1030-C; Records of the Foreign Service Posts of the Department of
State, Record Group 84.

We suggest filing a FOIA request with the Department of State if you wish
to gain access to USUN Press Release # 80:
https://foia.state.gov/request/request2.aspx .

We do not consider this a denial of your FOIA request. However, if you are
not satisfied with our action on this request, your options for appeal and
dispute resolution are outlined in the attachment.

This concludes the processing of your request.

Sincerely,
