...three days in Washington, Teng will begin a jaunt around the country that was mostly designed to satisfy the interests of the scientists in his delegation. Said one U.S. scheduler: "Farms do not seem to do much for him. Technology is his bag." He will be escorted by Leonard Woodcock, who last week was nominated by Carter as U.S. Ambassador to China...
...will take up foreign affairs. Groups of Democrats and Republicans have returned from visits to the Soviet Union with misgivings. Their worries will lead most of them to support Carter's recognition of China, and they will probably confirm a U.S. Ambassador to Peking, expected to be Leonard Woodcock, the current chief of the U.S. Liaison Office.

In an elaborate toast, the husky-voiced Vice Premier said, "I feel certain that the far-reaching influence the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries exerts upon...
Though Washington officials had cause for their enthusiasm, the personal triumph last week belonged to Teng. For 40 minutes, the diminutive Chinese leader sat perched on a blue silk sofa in Woodcock's living room as guests were served an appropriate, but unsettling, combination of Coca-Cola, Chinese orange soda pop, apple pie and egg rolls. Teng chain-smoked and drank local beer as he listened to Woodcock's plea for more living and working space for U.S. diplomats when the liaison office becomes a full-fledged embassy on March...
