Although Nixon describes this as part of "a new policy on the part of the U.S. in assuming the initiative," the main U.S. thrust continues to be toward agreement between the U.S. and the Soviet Union on a solution to the Arab-Israeli impasse. Nixon's men also intend to make bilateral probes of French and British attitudes through their delegations at the U.N. When the four-power talks eventually take place, the U.S. wants to make sure that it does not find itself on the short end of a three-to-one international line-up over the Middle...

Without Y Bham, who is venerated by Montagnards, the chances of a genuine reconciliation in the highlands remained tenuous at best...
...scramble the fighters and fly them to Pueblo's aid. Four fighter-bombers were supposed to be ready in South Korea, but they were armed with nuclear warheads and useless for such a mission. Air Force jets stationed in Japan were unavailable because a status-of-forces agreement prevented their use in any combat mission without the Japanese government's consent. The only U.S. Navy ship in the area was the nuclear aircraft carrier U.S.S. Enterprise, which was cruising 600 miles from Pueblo. But, said Johnson, since Enterprise was based in Japan, her jets were similarly locked...
