Speech of the First Secretary of the PZPR (Edward Gierek)

17 Apr 1974
Description: This speech by the first secretary of the Polish Worker's Party, Edward Gierek, for the 1974 Political Consultative Committee (PCC) meeting in Warsaw describes the achievements and challenges of the Warsaw Pact and states that it is spreading peace in security in Europe.
