...discuss aspects of the anti-ballistic missile system, nonproliferation, perhaps some questions arising out of the Middle East situation, and at least the situation in Southeast Asia, as well as questions of mutual interest in Europe and the Western Hemisphere." Later, Kosygin made a firm suggestion for the second session...
Five Principles. Kiselev's effusions were typical of the five-day prepackaged charade on Manhattan's East River. Moscow had demanded the convening of the 122-member Assembly, ostensibly to break the Middle East impasse. For its part, the Johnson Administration opposed the U.N. session from the outset, correctly anticipating that it would accomplish nothing and that the Communists intended it to be a propaganda spectacular.

They came not so much for the brief formal session (at which President Jelle Zijl-stra of The Netherlands Bank was elected B.I.S. president to succeed his retiring fellow countryman, Marius Holtrop) as for the two preceding days of frank talk behind closed doors about monetary problems. "You save two weeks of travel in Europe by coming here," explained Federal Reserve Chairman William McChesney Martin, who led the U.S. contingent...
