...next two decades lie in Asia, purely military U.S. involvement, both in dollars and personnel, will be reduced. He will seek to increase economic assistance.

...Socialist Union: "We now begin the stage of liberation. We shall fight for the restoration of our land, not only Egyptian lands but all Arab lands." Calling for a war of attrition, he warned that "we are now engaged in a long battle to drain the enemy's strength." In an attempt to create more Arab cooperation against Israel, he called for a new Arab summit conference, noting that "conditions now are very different from what they were when we last met in Khartoum in August 1967." Nasser paid specific tribute to one of those-"changed conditions": he hailed...
