...early as last September, department and agency heads in Washington started passing along to the White House their program and budget requests for the coming year. President Kennedy and Aide Ted Sorensen collected the pieces, sifted and shifted them until a picture took shape; then, last week.

Landing in a United Nations plane and guaranteed U.N. protection during their stay, they arrived ostensibly in fulfillment of Tshombe's pledge made fortnight ago in his meeting at Kitona with the central government's Premier Cyrille Adoula.
