President Eisenhower's historic peace mission carries him to Tunisia, most pro-Western of the Arab nations and smallest stop on his extensive tour. President Bourguiba presents him with an Arab steel and a cheering populace hails the U.S. President. In France, an enthusiastic reception greets him in Toulon but in Paris, the character of Ike's mission is altered as he confers in momentous pre-Summit talks with De Gaule, Adenauer and MacMillan that results in invitations to Khrushchev for Summit meetings in the Big Four capitals, Paris, London, Moscow and Washington.

President Eisenhower is re-elected to another 4 year term, defeating Adlai Stevenson by a landslide majority. As Ike carries 41 states with a greater popular vote than in 1952, Democrats retain control of the House and Senate.

General Eisenhower meets his running mate for the first time since public debate over Senator Nixon's private expense fund prompted Nixon's "Checkers" speech in self defence, winning him the full endorsement of the Republican National Committee.

The Republican National Convention in San Francisco reaches a jubilant climax with the unanimous nomination of President Eisenhower as standard bearer for the GOP in the '56 Presidential campaign, and Vice President Nixon as his running mate.

President Eisenhower is greeted at the airport by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer on his arrival at the West German capital on the first leg of a European tour prior to a meeting with Soviet chief Khrushchev.

President Eisenhower scores another triumph with his unique personal diplomacy in Chile where, despite anti-U.S. incidents, Ike's personal warmth and his message of friendship and cooperation in Latin-American progress win an overwhelmingly enthusiastic response.
