FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MARCH 23, 1975
OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
THE WHITE HOUSE
EXCHANGE OF REMARKS
BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT
AND
HENRY A. KISSINGER
SECRETARY OF STATE
THE SOUTH LAWN
10:21 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Secretary, it is a great
privilege for me to welcome you back on an extraordinarily
difficult mission on behalf of the United States and
the problems that are in the Middle East.
I know that you made a maximum effort. Unfortu-
nately, for reasons beyond our control, it did not turn
out the way we wanted it.
But let me say, the United States will continue
to emphasize our desire to achieve a lasting peace
in the Middle East by working with one country, other
countries, and all countries.
It is in the national, as well as in the
international, interest that we do everything we can
with the emphasis on peace. Although we have, on a
temporary basis hopefully, not achieved all that we
had desired, I continue to be an optimist, that the good
judgment and the wise decisions of all parties will
result in the ultimate objective of peace in the Middle
East and its ramifications on a worldwide basis.
Henry, would you like to add anything?
SECRETARY KISSINGER: Mr. President, I very
much appreciate your greeting me here as you sent me off
from here.
The necessities that produced the mission continue
and the need for a lasting peace in the Middle East remains.
As the President pointed out, the United States
remains ready to work with the parties, and other interested
countries, to promote a peace of justice in the Middle
East.
Thank you.
END
(AT 10:24 P.M. EDT)
