[The press were admitted to take photos.]

I saw a picture of Chairman Kirillin and Brezhnev.

Yes.

You were in the Navy too.

Actually the Marines.

[The press left.]

Mr. President, I have the pleasure of conveying greetings from Secretary General Brezhnev, Chairman Kosygin, and President Podgorny.

I am looking forward to meeting General Secretary Brezhnev. We have had a number of communications back and forth, and it will be a pleasure to meet him.

You are not the only one to look forward to it.
