LIERARY
President: When do you leave for Finland ?
Austad: On the 7th of March. I want to thank you very deeply for the
opportunity to serve in this capacity.
President: You will do a great job. You may have some excitement
in June or July.
Austad: Yes, 37 heads of state !
President: I was there once with the Interparliamentary Union. I met
another fine man, I can't remember his name. I think it was Kekkonen.
Austad: I am going to do some different things. I want to do a film for
National Geographic.
I have a commitment for some of our labor leaders to come over.
Their labor unions are split.
We want to increase our trade. That is the only way we can
show the flag.
The Soviets play this like a violin. They have a major figure
visiting every week, and we never have anyone.
