Carter insisted that the final steps in the negotiating process had been taken at Peking's initiative and that the Chinese had done most of the giving. Said he: "We have maintained our own U.S. position firmly, and only since the last few weeks has there been an increasing demonstration to us that Premier Hua and Vice Premier Teng have been ready to normalize relations...
