President Reagan called Schwab's death "a great tragedy." Said Secretary of State George Shultz: "It is unacceptable for one country to fire into another at people and end up killing someone." Still, Shultz declared that the U.S. had no "plan or instinct" to retaliate militarily. Explained a White House aide: "No one wants to convert this incident into a Tonkin Gulf affair...
...Reagan has more than domestic politics on his mind. His milder message was supposed to set the tone for the meeting between Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko this week in Stockholm. Both men will be traveling to the Swedish capital to attend the opening ceremonies of the Conference on Confidence and Security-Building Measures and Disarmament in Europe.

It has exhibited hostility toward a free society, especially a free market and a free press, and it has demonstrated unrestrained budgetary expansion...
Despite its high-decibel pullout, the Administration left the door open for reentry. UNESCO requires a member to give at least a year's notice before resigning, so the U.S. withdrawal does not take effect until Dec. 31,1984. The U.S. would consider rescinding its action, wrote Shultz, given "indications of significant improvement" in the way UNESCO operates...
