- On other things -- like exchanges, Congressional visits and so forth. I would like to suggest the desirability of changing the pattern a little bit, so that every year is not like the last year. And not expose our relationship to unnecessary speculation in the U. S. to see if any special progress has been made. So if our experts could find some slight variation in the pattern, it could be quite helpful.
- In practice with the Congressional visits -- there is one Subcommittee that votes the State Department budget, that has a great interest in coming here. I say this for your consideration.
- Teng:
- We can think that over.
- Kissinger:
- Teng:
- We expressed our welcome to him long ago.
- Kissinger:
- And we have supported it and we appreciate your inviting him. It will be helpful. Senator Mansfield is the majority Leader of the Senate and a former professor of political science at the University of Montana. On foreign policy problems, he is here in his capacity as former professor of political science at the University of Montana.
- Teng:
- We would welcome him in any capacity. And we will see to it that he is taken to a dinner of Hot Pot.
