Nixon promotes arms pact as turning point in East West ties
President Nixon addressed a joint session urging approval of the Soviet arms limitation deals including an ABM treaty and an offensive arms pact. He hailed the Moscow-Peking trip as moving the US toward less Cold War confrontation and leading to a safer, more cooperative era. He returned via Andrews Air Force Base after a 13 day, 16,585 mile journey. He planned a White House briefing for congressional leaders and rest at Camp David or Key Biscayne. Protesters gathered outside while many lawmakers watched the address.
