Thimmesch writes: "RN deserves a pat on the back for his perfor-
mance at the summit. He came with 3 years' planning and study for this
historic event. He did a good job with his homework, was able to recite
the facts and figures which Sov officials relish hearing, without having
them whispered in his ear by aides. He worked exceedingly long days,
some of them running to 18 hrs. 11 And "RN's work ethic was never put
to better use than in Moscow. 11 He adds that RN carried himself very
well, with no show-boating or buddy-buddy stuff; and RN "was especially
impressive" at the ceremonials involving Soviet war dead. He says RN
gained respect in world capitals for his efforts to build peace and "may-
be some of the sophisticates back in the States might come around to
swallowing their pride and resentment to admit that this serious, hard-
working and uncharismatic man
has really accomplished something
in Moscow. "
Kalb, on CBS radio, said: "After decades of cold war cutting into
the very psychology of the 2 peoples,
the 2 super-powers did take
several giant strides toward internat'l sanity. 11 Neither side got the
better of the SALT deal, said Marvin, and he noted that ''the leaders of both
countries committed their personal prestige, their political savvy, to the
success of this summit."
Drummond urges RN to make sure SALT accords are understood
and accepted by the Hill and public: otherwise, he says, it could be
another Gulf of Tonkin resolution which was accepted on faith, later to
be repudiated. He said: "The Senate needs to hear from you (RN)
personally, and the people need to hear from you, as to why you're con-
vinced that this nuclear arms-control treaty which seems on the surface
advantageous to SU, is in its entirety equally advantageous to US. 11 Why
should SU want an advantage in number if numbers are meaningless?
asks Roscoe. And Drummond suggests that RN himself "break another
precedent" by leading off Senate ForRel Comm testimony, and directly
rebutting the arguments raised against the treaty.
Kalb, on CBS radio, reported "restraint and reserve" of Poles during
RN's visit, except for brief moments. The reason, said Kalb, is that
Polish leaders didn't want to go out in front of Soviets -- since SU gave a
correct reception, so would Poland. In '59, Poland wanted to show some
independence, but not now, said Marvin now, they're 16 years removed
from the freedom days of Poznan, and memories fade.
