During one of several calls to London last week about the Cyprus crisis, Henry Kissinger reached British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan in Prime Minister Harold Wilson's office at No. 10 Downing Street. After a few moments of conversation, Kissinger told Callaghan that "I am here in the Oval Office with the President and he would like a few words with you, Jim, and the Prime Minister." Gerald Ford then spent ten minutes complimenting Britain's efforts to contain the Cyprus situation and emphasizing his commitment to continuity in U.S. foreign policy.

But at week's end, after talks threatened to break down completely, Mavros and Günes met privately and expressed optimism that a "final agreement" could be reached...
Turkish Passions. The Turkish Parliament openly fretted when Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit, apparently seek ing a peaceful solution, flew off to Lon don for conferences with British Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Foreign Secretary James Callaghan, as well as the U.S. State Department's Sisco.
