...talks with Pompidou, Heath and Brandt will be far-ranging. They will include the forthcoming European security conference and the proposed mutual reduction of forces between the Warsaw Pact nations and the NATO countries. Since Secretary of the Treasury John Connally is accompanying Nixon and Henry Kissinger, the international economic impasse will also be discussed -though not likely resolved (see THE ECONOMY). The summit conference with Sato will give the Prime Minister a badly needed boost at home, where his reputation has been seriously damaged by the sudden U.S. policy reversals on both China and international trade...

Even that limit may not be reached, because the pact also contains strict item-by-item regulation of 18 specific categories of products; it allows the Japanese almost no freedom to switch shipments from a slowly selling fabric to one which suddenly becomes in great demand...
