And Khrushchev replied to Nixon's warm bon voyage with a briefer farewell address that was perhaps his most effective statement in the U.S. Said Nikita Khrushchev: "As a result of the useful talks we had with President Eisenhower, we came to the agreement that all of the pending international questions should not be settled by force but by peaceful means-by negotiation.

We have better ones; we have the same kind-we even have worse. I don't say that all you have is bad and all we have is good. We can learn from...
...trip's end, even the suggestive threat had a mellow note. In some strange way-some way that had nothing to do with issues of substance or policy-Nikita Khrushchev and the U.S. had come to a grudging mutual acknowledgment that each party was standing firmly on his own two feet, and not likely to be easily shaken in basic underpinnings...
