...riposte, but air attacks have done little to slow the enemy so far. Ground troops are out of the question. For the time being, therefore, Nixon is trying diplomatic means. Last week he sent a letter off to Britain's Harold Wilson and the Soviet Union's Aleksei Kosygin, co-chairmen of the 1962 Geneva Conference, urging them to fulfill their responsibility for seeing that its accords are honored...
Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin dispatched three messages in all. Two went to Britain's Harold Wilson and France's Georges Pompidou, requesting them to use their leverage-certainly slight in the case of France-with Washington and Jerusalem to stop the attacks. A third message, meanwhile, was addressed to President Nixon. Although it was brief, it read like a lecture. Kosygin accused Washington of arming and encouraging Israel, and called for the reopening of the becalmed four-power peace talks...
While Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin and Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev whispered in the gallery behind the rostrum, Chief Soviet Planner Nikolai Baibakov manfully defended the progress of the current 1965-70 five-year plan. He conceded that next year there would be only a modest wage increase of 3% for factory and office workers and 4.6% for collective farmers.

The delegation came home bearing a message from Premier Aleksei Kosygin saying that Moscow still hopes for a political settlement of the Middle East crisis. Until the Soviets change their minds, which seems highly improbable, Arab cries for another round of fighting against Israel are likely to remain only a hollow threat...
...Moscow, Premier Aleksei Kosygin welcomed a delegation sent by Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser. The Egyptians were seeking more weapons-which Moscow is reluctant to give them-and a forthright Russian rebuff of the U.S. peace terms for the Middle East that Secretary of State William Rogers made public last week. They included Israeli withdrawal from Sinai and some form of multinational government for Jerusalem in exchange for Arab peace guarantees by the Israelis. Though the plan seems to offer the Egyptians favorable terms, Cairo rejected it, accusing Washington of trying to divide the Arabs. Moscow, however...
