THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN
FIRST DRAFT (Not cleared by Mr. Kissinger)
We are coming now to the end of our visit - to the end of a week
that has truly changed the world.
Looking back over this week, I think of the warm incompoisble and gracious
hospitality we have been shown throughout our stay i- and for this, on
behalf of Mrs. Nixon, of the rest of our party, and of the newsmen and
others wo have accompanied us here, I wish most especially and most
sincerely to thank our Chinese hosts, to thank all who have done so
much to make this stay pleasant as well as constructive.
I think also of all that we have seen -- of the examples of the progress
of modern China, and the timeless wonders of ancient China - - of the
beauty of China's countryside and the strength of its people.
Most important, of course, I think of the talks that we have held.
For it is in these talks that we have laid the basis for a new era in the
relationship between our two nations.
When Dr. Kissinger was in China last October, Prime Minister Chou
noted in a toast that our respective world outlooks are totally different,
but that this should not prevent us from finding common ground. It
is because we shared that belief that we came here. Our talks have
demonstrated that that belief is true.
These talks have been wide-ranging. They have been frank. They
have been constructive. The frankness with one another - the openness
