Nixon Disheartened By Administration viability
New York June 24 Richard M Nixon returns from foreign travels hopeful about Israel's victory but critical of the Johnson administration for lacking a stable Middle East policy. He cites an unfilled post at the State Department and questions UN diplomacy. He argues lasting peace needs US Soviet co guarantees and direct talks between Israel and Arab states. He sees potential in Nasser seeking Western help to avert famine, but only with firm U.S. leadership.
