Nations Apologize for Delegates at UN Vote
Ambassador George Bush said the United States received some apologies from other nations about their delegates during the vote to admit Mainland China to the United Nations. He noted the mood in the U.N. was hostile to the United States despite apologies, after Taiwan’s expulsion and Mainland China’s seating. The White House warned the incident could lessen support for the U.N. and foreign aid as Congress moves to final passages of the foreign aid bill and potential U.N. funding cuts. Henry Kissinger warned Nixon may veto the measure if Cambodia restrictions remain and an antiwar provision persists.
