Byrnes, who formerly served as Secretary of State in addition to holding various government positions, was praised by Schmidt as being largely responsible for Germany's economic and social recovery after World War II.

In the speech, Byrnes stated tnat Germany would not be occupied indefinitely by Allied forces and indicated the German government could eventually work towards creating an effective democracy.
