Neither the U.S. nor China made any significant public mention of the ensuing negotiations for two months. The Mainland press did allot considerable space to worker and peasant denunciations of Nixon's inaugural address, but it did not refer to the talks until in late January, 1969, when the U.S. State Department announced the defection of Liao Ho-shu, a Chinese diplomat in the Netherlands.

There are no similar public indiscretions on Watson's record. In fact, he is so unbending and formal in his role as ambassador that his aides refer to him as "the Straight Arrow."

In response to the Anderson report, the State Department, acting on White House instructions, declared that Watson continued to enjoy the President's confidence. But the State Department did not make an outright denial of the incident...
