...apparently was almost evenly divided. Seven Senators leaned toward support of the Budget Director (Democrats Thomas Eagleton, Henry Jackson, John Glenn, Sam Nunn, James Sasser, and Lawton Chiles and Republican John Danforth); six seemed to oppose him (Democrat Abraham Ribicoff and Republicans Charles Percy, Jacob Javits, Charles Mathias, William Roth and H. John Heinz). Four Senators appeared undecided (Democrats Ed Muskie and John McClellan were absent from the hearing, Lee Metcalf said little and Republican Ted Stevens' sentiments were unclear).

An ardent soccer enthusiast since his boyhood in Germany, Kissinger later chatted in German with Cosmos Stars Franz Beckenbauer and Werner Roth as the players relaxed in the whirlpool. He also shook the hand of the mighty Pele and introduced him to a delighted David. Was Kissinger a Cosmos rooter?
