Tell us what progress. I was asked this question this morning and then off that I couldn't meeting and I didn't know they had for that. and I really I just don't have the answer to that question. You know where I live in Minnesota that don't care very much for the idea of a lot of gum, but he'll grain reserves out hanging over the market price. Are you going to be coming along one of these days and telling them that sit a sacrifice? They should accepted the national. Involved in building up their concern that the grain reserves will be used to depress prices in inflationary periods, and that the government will use Grand Reserve to depress prices. And secondly, they're not very much for government storage of Grand Reserve. We have the Grand Reserve program that we have put forward. First of all calls for privately have Grand Reserve II of the basic reason for oppositional. Anderson says that the that if that are catastrophes that could have been pushing by governments in Verndale dress, it shakes confidence in government all over the world and the margin by which food is not being produced in relation to needs. It's very narrow indeed and at that point if that is a major shortfall the demand on the American Agricultural Supplies will be so enormous that things could get completely out of control. So we are looking for the Grand Reserves not in order to affect domestic prices. So that we have a cushion in case of emergencies and so that we can get other governments also to hold reserves which put into a many of which would be purchased from the United States. So we believe that when they agricultural Community understand the nature of our Grand Reserve proposal that they both have financially supported. They are seeing it in terms of some of the older schemes that have existed. But basically our idea is that the American reserves should be privately held the second late International reserves would be up to each country to create and put in a blast establish some priority in Mount Clemens on our on our own food and it is not relevant to an attempt to reduce the prices in this country. Passover near me I have no I haven't seen this report yet. I've just seen some fragmentary press accounts. And therefore I can't really comment on it say that they're not going to renew DUI mandamus. What is this? Underline the problem that which we been calling attention has it been officially dead. Well, I think it's called attention to the urgency of the drop them into the need of working out some new interim Solutions and we will have to study the indications for that but they've been in fact asked for the removal of these forces, which I doubt that they may simply not renew the man. But I'll have to study precisely what it means. I realize that you are not going to looking for apple and Pie answer the questions and I'm from the Hardline kdhl radio and the Zephyr, Minnesota. and I have a are you a resolution here from the American Legion? That states that the Council on Foreign Relations at 68th Street New York City is a subversive organization and it's already been passed and resolution thousand years and I'm speaking as Allegiant Air myself as well as a reporter. Now. I understand that you are a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. And if the American Legion to consider this the first so then why are you up at attraction expect for the American Legion? I think that it's judgement of whether the Council on Foreign Relations is a pussy may be based on insufficient information after all the counseling phone and relation to acids and its membership almost every who has dealt with foreign policy or defense policy every senior officials for the last Was fought for our country and the remedy laying out there in the morning. They're laying cologne up with investigating and they're investigating should be a just as positive as this. know what the cfra you are talking about an American won American Legion Post you're not. I'm not sitting I'm not saying that stupid but I must say with all respect to the American Legion in California. If you look at the membership of the Council on Foreign Relations and considered subversive then the country is really in bad shape because it contains every every major. I do not think that the subversion in this country will be led by the Council on Foreign Relations. They've got any guts at all this out to the American Legion. Mister secretary, can I ask you to be more specific about your speech last night about the United Nations and your reference again today specifically if the general assembly should vote to exclude Israel in the coming General Assembly session. Is this the sort of thing that might cause the United States to withdraw from the general assembly. We have not said exactly the job of the United Nations is violated in our view. We believe that the expulsion of member states by the general assembly, which is a responsibility. But the charter of the security Council would be an act which would affect the American participation in the activities of that body to what degree and in what Manner remains to be determined that we believe that the charter should be strictly observed and should not be used for punitive purposes that are incompatible. Just followed up when you say it would affect American participation. Are you referring only to the reaction? It would probably occur in Congress or are you talking about action by the executive branch? Executive branch would undoubtedly, I'll take some actions before deductions would be I am not now prepared his head but above all we're trying to prevent that. The individual steps by which the negotiation precedes in the nature of the governmental system in Israel is likely to be more public the basic point that I that I made was that the United States attempt to advance the negotiating process and it makes its best judgment to Eastside as to what is needed to make progress and we have done this with Egypt and we've done that with Israel and ask the negotiations come to a conclusion if they come to a conclusion Benadryl be a pattern what each side has conceded that the United States cannot as an intermediary. What what it's a suicide at each stage along the way? Turned up leaving abusive. The past side should security leaks reaches of whatever nature occur again, would you participate in why are in recent years and however, confined usually only to Administration the problem of security in the problem of security in a democracy of the problem of what things should be made public and what things The threatened to National Security. It's a very serious and secrets that anybody concerned must want to safeguard because if they have jeopardized they will threaten to National Security of the United States. Your question is very hard to answer in the abstract. But any government Administration has to protect some of its Secrets now whether that is carried too far for the effort to protect to protect his dad is a question of legitimate inquiry and I would also say that of course The legal profession the Supreme Court has taken a position on wiretapping that every Administration show. responsible for the for foreign policy and I think foreign policy is a non-partisan effort and I will not get into any partisan activities or make any political prediction. I think it is a positive indication of the relationships between the Soviet Union and the United States it is to sort of Cooperative effort which brings home to post people on both sides that we are living on a small planet that we can do constructive things together and then we must try to coexist and that therefore view it as a very positive say yes country's currency for American agricultural products and what important they playing your negotiations with one and two Russian. The agricultural productivity of the United States is one of the most important factors in the world economy today and it is one of our great asset. The United States produces the largest surpluses it contributes more food at than all of the rest of the world combined its technological scale can contribute enormous late to closing the gap between production and need riches the ultimate surveyor in which the ultimate solution of the food problem is the way we can use this in complete negotiations. It's affected by two things first by the negotiation itself and secondly by the kind of girl that we want to create because after all it is in our interest to and in the interest of the world to show that a commodity in which we have a special Advantage used responsibly can set a pattern for how Commodities in which other countries have a special Advantage can also be used responsibly. so in negotiations with the Soviet Union We have the problem that our sales are conducted by private companies. And of course iPhone is not yet conducted by private. So we we have to get some of the actions of these private companies may be to our requirements in foreign policy in that does not mesh with great Precision. We're trying to keep in mind that we should not sell so much that it will later. Bring enormous pressures are not the only kind of May or deprive us of the food for our other International needs. And yet sell enough so that the American Farmer can get rid of its production. We have worked out an informal system which has worked rather well and which we will apply and it's in this present situation on on sale. Yes, cuz they speak to the OPEC countries a great deal depends on what actions they will take and what general framework can be created for all kinds of Commodities and these people know a little better at the end of this year. Let this young lady. Well, that's a difficult question to answer in the abstract in many parts of the world. No stability is possible on the other hand. The situation of the United States has changed as compared to the immediate postwar period in which all the efforts we had to be carried out almost exclusively by the United States other parts of the world have now developed some strengths and self-confidence and consume large her responsibilities as a general rule. The United States is reluctant to undertake new commitments for the long-term station in of military forces abroad and looks rather for the local capacity to defend itself. If necessary, and if we think it is an auto loan interest with and without support in the Middle East we are in the position that we're the only country. If both parties can talk to what I have been willing to talk to and therefore was the United States must play and also be at the country that has given the major source of the major source of support for for Israel. They are for what we have an obligation to see what we can do to bring the pot is closer together and to see whether some momentum can be created for peace in Korea. We have a Mutual Security treated which obliges us to do the common defense, which is also no interest because of the importance of Japan and other countries attached to it. So I would say our role is changing it is less static than it was in the past but that still parts of development and it is less military than it has been in the past but it still has to be significant. Let it go swimming. First of all why it seems to me that you were so much into work and work. So rigorously and secondly what you do to relax and get away from things are true statements. What I do to get away from the Department of State travel. first question requires I can supposed to but I think with somebody who has seen in this life the consequences of what can happen if Society is collapsed and the consequences of that is an interest in and then send it to do what one can for domestic tranquility in above all to International Peace and pops for somebody who has come to this country as an immigrant one can understand better how important this country is to the rest of the world than people who have that's not exactly the standard of comparison his foot as far as relaxing as concerned doesn't lend itself to too many too too many free. But I have been given the dog to my birthday and I have to walk in the house. I need the recommendations of the month in commission with the CIA be reorganized Agency for intelligence agency, the paramilitary operations of the CIA be shifted to the Department of Defense and that the assistant to the president for National Security Affairs should not ordinarily hold a cabinet position as you currently do what plans are there to implement these recommendations and if there are no such plans why not the movie commission recommendations and I'll being studied by the executive branch and therefore I cannot tell you which of them are going to be implemented and which of them are not going to be going to be implemented weather. The proposition that the assistant to the President should not ordinarily be a cabinet members when I stretch it is in which it is hard to disagree. I would agree with those who hold the view that the President should have the ride. To make that decision himself all the more so as the influence of any person by the president does not depend on the hierarchical position that he may have the fact that I hold two positions does not give me any additional influence with the president and therefore I think it depends on the Judgment that the president makes in each case some other recommendations of the movie commission will no doubt be implemented. Maybe this one will be implemented to it's a little early to say to the defense intelligence agency in the dod. No, not particularly because How you can make a case for the proposition that we shouldn't engage in paramilitary operation, but there's no way that the defense department can conduct paramilitary organizations in the same way that the intelligence the reason for having them in. The intelligence agency was the permitted degree of dissociation from of military operations, and to prevent there being a direct engagement of American military power. So I think we could have the argument that I have some questions. confirm first absolutely rumors that there is going to be but this does know you at Sylvia Trent a lot of the kind of 1972 in which they were some governmental credit since we have had reports that the Soviet Union is interested in substantial purchases of American dream. And there have been some informal discussions in which they have tried to determine the amount that could be purchased without disrupting. I'll mark it so completely that it might lead to a reaction such as a good last year when a limit had to be informal women have to be put on This informal discussions have taken place, but what the exact limit is has not yet established, but I have the impression that movie Sophia screen purchases. In what area in your estimation poses the greatest threat to our US Security today. leaving aside without answer the question of what is a threat to US security it is obviously the greatest immediate threat of water is in the Middle East and the action to which my attention was called, but I haven't officially heard yet the nun renewal of the UNIF mandate in the Sinai is just one example of the precariousness of the situation in the Middle East if no progress was made towards a peace settlement and if there's a war in the Middle East that is found to have consequences outside of the Middle East. I think that is the area that is most complicated. Of course nature of modern weapon two sides that are always dangers of technological breakthroughs in the front side getting ahead of the other which is one reason why we attach so much importance to the Strategic arms negotiations, but the single most complicated area of the world in the sink area most likely to produce in Conflict if no practice is now it's the Middle East. Yes. I have felt for a long time that I should talk about the relationship of principles to practice in front of Publix, and I generally do not try to 2 invent talks for particular audiences. There's a I thought this was an important subject on which to talk. I do believe however that particular play in, Minnesota. With its idealistic tradition with its senators and congressmen who have played such particular attention to the range of problems that I discussed today that this was an appropriate subject for this area. Yes, I know. There's no possibility of committing American forces as a buffer. And whatever may be done in the sign. I will not be too involved the United States in any possible military operation. I have seen some of the newspaper speculations on what might or might not be done. But I want to make clear that nothing that is being considered or even trendily talked about involves a possibility of an American Military involvement in any military conflict in the in the in the Middle East is right that we all know conducting reconnaissance flights for both of the parties question is whether we could the issue that has been informally realized is whether some of these functions that are performed occasionally by reconnaissance flight could be down on a more permanent basis that is to say warning until 4. But that would be done for both sides. It would not be done for the United States and it would not involve any possibility of military combat. In light of the recent Endeavor continuing terrorist attacks in Israel. Is it a vital step still that Israel must have a date with the Palestinians? The United States in the United States has never recommended. Israel to go she ate with the Palestinians United States has the United States possession of any negotiation between Palestinians and Israel presupposes the acceptance by the Palestinians of the state of Israel and of the relevant Security Council resolutions, neither of which has yet been done by the Palestinians. So we have never taken the position but you've described very happy that you're here and why do you say that you will have seldom any ornaments in the Middle East is potential. It is essentially in the interest of Israel is in the interest of the other countries in the interest of the United States. As long as the United States is in the position in which it finds itself in the Middle East. We cannot escape the consequences of others stay away order of an explosion and therefore be having been first invited by both of the parties to participate in the negotiating as to what is required to make practice that has never been any question of MBA going to Israel. The questions have been the normal of the scales of the of the support. And some items of a particular kind of technology which are the long-term basic attention from your question or not. Correct about the United States believe the president has repeatedly stated in time have consequences. That would be extremely important for all of the party. negotiations for Panama Canal Commission United States some signed about 18 months ago a declaration of principles with the government of Panama in which we committed ourselves to continue in good-faith negotiations that had that was started in 1964 looking towards a new arrangement for for the Panama Canal important resides in the fact that Panama could pick up in certain circumstances. a focal point for What kind of Napa kind of nationalistic? Gorilla type of operation that we have not yet seen in the Western Hemisphere directed against the United States and my unify all of Latin America against United States there for the United States has negotiated in good faith. See what can be achieved that would give the United States. Hey guaranteed with respect to the defense of the Treaty of the canal and a substantial. Of operation of the canal. But which would remove some of the particular grating aspect of the present situation in Panama? The United States will continue these negotiations. We will stay between not yet know whether they can be concluded. We will stay in the closest contact with the Congress on this at each stage and puts out intimately whether Congress about the negotiations, but we are continuing
