Johnson Erhard call Soviet treaty powerless in West Germany
Washington reports Johnson and West German Chancellor Erhard concluded in two White House meetings that the Soviet East German treaty cannot alter Western rights in West Germany and Berlin. They issued a communique noting the treaty but asserting no unilateral Soviet move can affect Allied rights. They pledged responsibility for any interference and affirmed that only the freely elected West German government can speak for Germans. Erhard said no shocking element but urged a clear Western response and vigilance.
