...Moscow on reduction of NATO and Warsaw Pact troop levels; he may also ask Nixon's aid in his attempts to get France back into the European defense effort. Nixon will be pleased, however, to find that Heath believes in a "natural relationship" between Britain and the U.S. BRANDT. West Germany's Social Democratic Chancellor Willy Brandt traveled to Oslo last week to pick up his Nobel Peace Prize.

That may come after Nixon meets with French President Georges Pompidou, British Prime Minister Edward Heath and West German Chancellor Willy Brandt (see THE NATION).
