U S Proposes January Start for Cultural Exchange Talks
In Washington the United States proposed early January talks with the Soviet Union to renew the cultural exchange agreement after Mos cow discussions were canceled following the arrest of Yale professor Frederick C. Barghoorn. The Barghoorn case led to a delayed negotiation timeline. The Kennedy family donated a Monet painting to the White House in memory of the late president, hung in the Green Room. The artwork, A Morning on the Seine, reflects the president and Mrs. Kennedy’s outdoors love. Senate leaders signaled early action on an $11 billion tax cut, with talk of retroactivity and swift progress before Christmas as committees set decisions.
