IG N IF ICANT?'RESULTS* THERE IS SO ME HOPE THAT TRE NINE WILL
FIND A "BRIDGE" BETWEEN FRANCE AND THE OTHER EIGHT ,ON EC AND
BROAD INTERNATIONAL ENERGY COOPERATION* ON THE INSTITUT ZONAL
SIDE, THE PROPOSAL FOR MORE FREQUENT MEETINGS AT THE HEADS OF
GOVERNMENT LEVEL IS LIKELY TO BE APPROVED AT THE SUMMIT, BUT
LITTLE ELSE* (GATES)
WASHINGTON STAR41EWS t YOU ARE PICTURED BE I NG GREETED' BY
CHOU EN..LA / IN A PEKING REST HOME*
A? STAR EDITORIAL DISCUSSES THE "BREAK THROUG 1k A T VLADIVOSTOK*"
IT SEEMS ALMOST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE* BUT THE FACT IS THAT ? BO TH
PRESIDENT FORD AND YOU BELIEVE, AFTER YOUR SUMMIT MEETING AT
-VLADI VOSTOK , THAT YOU ARE /N REACH OF AN HISTORIC AGREEMENT WITH
LEADERS OF THE SOVIET UN/ON WHICH WILL IMPOSE A FIRM LIMIT ON THE
ARMS RACE BETWEEN THE TWO SUPERPOWERS OVER THE NEXT DECADE* WHILE
CONGRATULATIONS ARE CERTAINLY IN ORDER, GLOATING CERTAINLY IS NOT.
- IT IS REGRETTABLE THAT WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY RON NESSEN
SHOULD BOAST THAT FORD HAS "ACHIEVED IN THREE tilONTHS" WHAT FORMER
PRESIDENT NIXON "COULD NOT ACHIEVE IN FIVE YEARS** OUR OWN GUESS
IS THAT WHAT WAS ACHIEVED AT VLADIVOSTOK HAD PRECIOUS LITTLE TO
DO WITH FORD'S TALENT AS A NEGOTIATOR. THE GROUNDWORK WAS CARE.*
FULLY LAID OVER THE LAST FI VE YEARS, MOSTLY BY YOU. VERY PROB..
ABLY, THE AGREEMENT COULD HAVE BEEN REACHED MONTHS AGO, EXCEPT
FOR THE RELUCTANCE OF THE SOVIETS LEADERS TO 'DEAL . WITH A ?
CREDITED AMERICAN PRESIDENT WHOSE OWN FUTURE WAS VERY MUCH IN
DOUBT* IN ALL THIS, GERALD FORD CAN CLA I M A MINIMAL SHARE OF
PERSONAL CREDIT* HE WILL DO WELL To, FOLLOW YOUR ADVICE, BE
MODEST, AND LET THE AGREEMENT SPEAK FOR ITSELF* EXACTLY WHAT
THE TENTATIVE AGREEMENT INVOLVES REMAINS TO BE REVEALED* nrg
ESSENTIAL OBJECTIVE, AS SPELLED OUT IN THE 'SUMMIT COMMUNIQUE,
IS *EQUAL SECURITY* FOR BOTH SIDES* THE PROBLEM NOW IS TO "
TRANSLATE THAT GOAL INTO A TREATY WHICH CAN BE SIGNED' DURING
SOVIET PARTY CHAIRMAN BREEHNEV. S VI SIT TO THIS COUNTRY NEXT
YEAR* IF: THAT CAN BE DONE, THE HOPE WILL INDEED EXIST THAT *A
SOLID FOUNDATION FOR PROGRESS IN RESHAPING ISOVIET.PAMERICAN
RELATIONS" HAS AT LAST BEEN ACHIEVED*
YOU ARE PICTURED ON A..' I MEETING WITH CHINESE DEPUTY PREMIER
TENG HSIA0'..PING AND FOREIGN MINISTER CHIA? KUAN?.'HUA*
A DRAFT REPORT BY THE SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE CONCLUDES
THAT MILITARY SPYING BY THE JCS ON TM NSC WAS THE WORK OF TWO
