...intends to insist-at any foreign ministers' conference and beyond-that questions of substance be discussed and prospects of agreement thoroughly canvassed before any new impression of thaw is created. For example, the U.S., as the President told the U.S.S.R.'s Bulganin in January, wants to talk about: 1) reunification of Germany by free elections-agreed to by the U.S.S.R. at the parley at the summit in July 1955 but since ignored by the Russians; 2) the right of satellite peoples to choose their own form of government; 3) a package disarmament plan linking foolproof stoppage of nuclear...
...When I contrast the actual facts of American life with such portrayals as those of Mr. Khrushchev at Minsk and indeed of your latest communication to me.'' wrote President Eisenhower to Russia's Premier Bulganin, "I am impressed more than ever before with the enormous difficulties besetting us in attempting to move toward better relations and with the greater necessity than ever before of doing so." So saying, the President last week sprinkled a generous measure of salty common sense into the bubbling chowder kettle of speeches, letters and rumors that have been steaming up the need...
Back in mid-January, replying to Premier Bulganin's invitation to the summit, the President declared: "It would be essential that prior to such a meeting . . . complex matters should be worked on in advance through diplomatic channels and by our foreign ministers." Last week, when a press-conference questioner asked Secretary of State Dulles whether "it is essential to hold a foreign ministers' meeting prior to a summit conference," Dulles replied: "No, it isn't essential...

But measured against that letter's tone and spirit, Dulles' outright "No, it isn't essential" seemed a step toward the summit, a step dictated by the haunting need to avoid seeming "rigid" in the eyes of neutrals, allies and the soft-line camp at home. Since the Russians had already conceded that the U.S. insistence on advance preparations is "correct," Dulles' concession seemed to leave no barrier to ambassador-level discussions of an agenda...
...White House disposed of Bulganin's latest letter with a request for "further clarification." The State Department, addressing itself to the much-discussed let's-neutralize-Central-Europe proposals of Poland's Foreign Minister Adam Rapacki-since endorsed by the Kremlin as a suitable topic for the summit-warned all U.S. diplomatic missions overseas that such a plan is "extremely dangerous." Added the President at his press conference, in a definitive statement of policy on such neutralize-Europe agreements...
