Back in Washington after three months on Cape Cod, Jacqueline Kennedy stayed around long enough to greet Haile Selassie and to chat with him-in French-at a private White House tea later in the day. Then, taking leave of the Emperor with an appreciative "Je suis comblee" (I am overcome), she was off again-this time for a 15-day, "strictly private" holiday in Greece...

He conferred with intelligence officials at both the CIA and the Pentagon, discussed the latest estimates of conditions on the Red Chinese mainland. Between conferences, he squeezed in a one-day jet flight to Cape Canaveral.
