...were in chummy agreement that a way could after all be readily found to make Britain a full partner in the Common Market. In Brussels, even as De Gaulle was addressing a press conference in Paris, the Common Market's presiding minister, Belgium's Henri Fayat, gracefully welcomed the British delegation to the conference room in the new aluminum and concrete Foreign Ministry building on the Quatre Bras.* With equal good will, Britain's Chief Delegate Edward Heath replied, "I think the time has come for a true reconciliation...
