It's fascinating in many ways\nfor one thing that Mao said the foreign ministry was thinking last Dec. of admit-\nting Americans. He goes on to imply there have been a lot of messages back\nand forth through a thrid party and the head of one European country came back\nin Dec., bypassed State, and went directly to the WH. Who? There's only\nthe Scandinavians and French. Someone who had been here prior to Dec. and\ncame back and went to China in Jan. He further said he learned in Peiking'\nthat a (measage had been conveyed asking Peking how they would react to\nhaving a WH official go to Peking.)\nK: I love Chinese food SO much I will do anything to get there.\nR: You have been up to more hanky-panky - then you have said. Edgar Snow\nis usually pretty factual. When he states this it in fact occured.\nK: I am not making any comments.\nR: I am encouraged by this as a citizen and WXXX also from the kind of\nreaction you have gotten in this country. It's hard to convince people that\nthe China lobby has bean dead for years.\nK: We have been moving. I am looking for the article. I haven't read it yet.\nR: Since you won't tell me who your agent is.\nK: I have the Australian Defense Minister waiting for me.\nR: He said that problems with China and the US have to be solved with Nixon.\nSnow \"couldn't settle ? ? ? ? ? ? That question had to do with Truman and\nAcheson. 11 Fascinating.\nK: I can't talk about these things. So we leave it at that. Ask me something\nanalytical and I will comment.\nR: When are you coming down on the UN problem? When would you say so?\nOutloud?\nK: We will know within -- what did Rogers say -- late spring or early summe:\nR: I had forgotten that."
