...pausing long enough to hold a meeting with Prime Minister Harold Wilson. But the trip is designed primarily to give the President a solid grounding in Asian current affairs. In the unlikely event that he does not bring back enough homework of his own, he will get quite a bit more information from Secretary of State William Rogers, who will leave Nixon in Djakarta and head off on a related survey mission to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand...
