Q: His address to the delegates, did it have an impact? How was it received?

A: He got a standing ovation. He was the chairman of one of the committees and he got a standing ovation for making this famous statement about the freedom to move on the broad boulevards of life, which referred to, at that time, a very sizable portion of the human population who were under colonialism and were not free; and I think it certainly set him up as a very important figure in this world.
