...prelude to President Nixon's forthcoming trip, a team of top U.S. moneymen traveled to Europe last week for the new Administration's first formal contacts with European economic officials. At the week-long meetings in Paris of the 22-nation Organization for European Cooperation and Development, the delegation earned high marks and persuaded even the skeptics that the U.S. economy is in good hands.
