# "Der Warschauer Vertrag, Kraftquell in unserem Kampf für Einheit, Frieden und Sicherheit": East CDU executive meeting, Berlin

Behind the speaker's table of an executive-board session, a dark panel carries white letters: 'Der Warschauer Vertrag, Kraftquell in unserem Kampf für Einheit, Frieden und Sicherheit'. The treaty is named a source of strength and attached to three words (unity, peace, security) that few would oppose.
