President Nixon unveiled a five step program to ease trade and travel barriers with China without new legislation. Steps include expediting visas for mainland visitors, relaxing dollar controls for Chinese use, ending fuel restrictions for ships or aircraft, allowing US ships to carry Chinese cargo between non Communist ports, and permitting US owned foreign flag carriers to call at Chinese ports.
