Administration leaders view the opening round as a failure in their strategy to downgrade conference results. A speech to the Women's Forum on National Security said the United States would not enter with great expectations though the session could probe Soviet intentions. Officials expect Khrushchev to arrive in Paris with a tough mood and demand an immediate peace treaty with a divided Germany on his terms.
