The Big Achievement of Glassboro:
'Better Understanding
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
HON. NEAL SMITH
of Iowa
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Tuesday, July 11, 1967
Mr. SMITH of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, the
euphoric dreamers in our midst who be-
lieved that the summit meeting between
President Johnson and Premier Kosygin
would lead to quick solutions to the diffi-
cult problems confronting the world will
be very disappointed. But those of us who
are more realistic-and I believe this in-
cludes the majority of Americans-view
the summit conference as a first, but im-
portant, step toward a greater under-
standing that may lead to a brighter
future for all mankind.
President Johnson has said that none
of the major problems was solved at this
meeting. But this was to be expected.
What was accomplished-and perhaps
even more important in the long run-
was a clear notion, on the part of both
leaders, about where their countries
stand on.the vital issues of our time.
As the Des Moines Register notes:
The meeting at Glassboro should be
viewed as a means of establishing better un-
derstanding between the two governments
rather than as a device for making compro-
mises and settling problems.
And the paper adds:
As such, it seems to have been worthwhile.
The two,leaders . probably know more inti-
mately the fine points of their differences,
which o?1d 1- helpm.-_

little room for miscalculation. And be= .
cause this is so, I think a significant con-
tribution to a more stable community of
nations has been achieved at Glassboro.
For by sitting down to reason together,
the President and Kosygin could cut
through the diplomatic glaze and second-
hand interpretations that often cloud
the issues between nations, and lead to
tragic mistakes.
The American people strongly support
the President's effort at Glassboro. And
deservedly so. Peace and understanding
are synonymous. We may now dare to
hope that with the understanding
achieved at Glassboro, the quest for
peace is an Important step closer to

Moines R l;;ister on the summit confer-
No SIGN OF COMPROMi9S1
Americans who may have expec that
Alexei Kosygin and Lyndon Johnson wo
reach positive agreements an world issues
have been disillusioned. There was no reason
to think that the leaders of the two super-
powers could nettle any major question, but
the drama surrounding a meeting "at the
summit" invariably leads to false expecta-
tions.'
Kosygin, less than any Soviet leader since
the Communist revolution, can conclude
agreements on his own. He is part of a team
or "collective" now running the Soviet Un-
1on, and it is fax from certain that he is
No. 1 on the team, as Chairman Nikita
Khrushchev obviously was when he met with
Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy.
Leonid Brezhnev, first secretary of the
Soviet Communist party, may well possess
more power than Kosygin. The first secre-
taryship is the post from which Stalin and
Khrushchev gained and wielded dictatorial
authority. But it seems more likely that the
present leadership of Russia is truly by com-
mittee, with Brezhnev, Kosygin, President
Nicolai Podgorny and possibly others sharing
there seem to' be possibility for further agree-
ments beyond the treaty prohibiting nuclear
weapons tests in the air or under the sea.
Both President Johnson and Premier Kosy-
gin stressed the importance of reaching ac-
cord on a treaty against non-proliferation
of nuclear weapons. President Johnson re-
orted that progress was made toward arms
li tion.
Kosy did not bend an inch on Russia's
insistence t Israel be charged with ag-
gression by the'-rUnited Nations, that it with-
draw from territory taken in the war before
peace talks can occur and that it pay com=pensation to the Arabs for losses in the war.
Also, the Russian demand that the United
States quit bombing North Vietnam and
withdraw its forces from South Vietnam has
not altered.
From what was reported about the Glass-
boro meeting, no hint appeared of com-
promise on these issues. What would hap-
pen, we wonder, if, the United States did agree
to quit bombing North Vietnam and if Rus-
sia agreed to stop rearming the Egyptians
and to seek an Arab-Israeli settlement? We
can only hope that some conversation took
place on these points which may be pursued
further in the continuing contacts of am-
bassadors and foreign ministers which Kosy-
gin and Johnson promised would occur.

ervicemen as-
his legislation
No American president, of course, has t?.1- -4n
power to commit the nation to interns portation to the nearest DOD school, as
treaties or to conclude agreements' single- well as room and board. Some of these
authority of the Senate orf`treaties. He must
assure himself of .support from Congress and
the public or run the risk of being repudi-
ated, as President Wilson was on the League
of Nations.
So the meeting at Glassboro should be
viewed as a means of establishing better
understanding between the two governments
rather than as a device for making com-
promises and settling problems. As such, it
seems to have been worthwhile. The two
leaders probably know more intimately the
fine points of their differences, which could
be helpful.
Among the many world .issues on which
the Soviet Union and the United States dis-
agree, three seem paramount at the moment.
These are the continuing hostility between
Israel and the Arab countriesz the Vietnam
war; the question of world armaments, in-
cluding pending decisions on the building of
anti-ballistic missile systems and the spread
of nuclear weapons.
individuals serving our country overseas
are in the lower grades, and the expenses
they must bear for an adequate educa-
tion for their children impose a real
hardship.
I was privileged to be on the 1965 over-
seas schools inspection trip with my
distinguished colleague from Michigan
whose introduction of this bill has once
again demonstrated his dedication to
equal education for all Americans. On
this trip we found many servicemen who
were sending their children to distant
schools, and we also discovered the diffi-
culties they encounter in providing their
dependents with access to a college edu-
cation once they complete their sec-
ondary studies.
This bill then would provide govern-
ment allowances for room, board, and
transportation for those youngsters who
must travel to DOD, dependents' schools,
