Nor will he decide at this time whether to go ahead with a supersonic transport for the U.S., even though Boeing has already been selected as the designer; instead, funds for continued research will be supplied on a month-to-month...
...blocked it. The Cuban missile crisis and other tensions kept the talks down until last summer, when President Johnson decided to try again. Last week, despite an involuntary twitch resulting from the FBI's new spy case (see THE NATION), the agreement was signed in Washington by Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson and Soviet Civil Aviation Minister Evgeny Loginov...
