For his part, Rogers refused more and more often to testify before Fulbright's committee...
...however, the old twosome is getting back together. Fulbright recently sent Rogers a warm personal letter, suggesting a new spirit of reconciliation. Rogers agreed by return mail. When the Secretary of State testified before the Foreign Relations Committee last week, the hatchet, if not buried, was clearly put aside. After congratulating both Nixon and Rogers on ending the war, Fulbright suggested that the session represented "a new spirit of sweetness and light." Golf, anyone...
