First hints of the new line went out to Moscow via the shrewd, cautious U.S. Ambassador in Moscow, Llewellyn E. Thompson. Donning his karakul hat, Thompson paid a call on Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. His task was once again to probeMoscow's intentions.

President Kennedy readily agreed to the plan. A fervent believer in summitry, Macmillan would dearly like to attend a conference...
From the Philippine House of Representatives, he moved to his country's U.N. delegation (in 1951 Macapagal had a notable verbal clash about Communist aggression with Russia's Andrei Vishinsky) and on to the vice presidency, polling 117,000 more votes in 1957 than the winning candidate for President, Carlos Garcia...
