- 3 - I am prejudiced because that is where I got a degree, but in general studies, not science. I wasn't smart enough to be with you guys.

We are very proud of our educational institutions. There is much research that I see emerging practically to help the U. S. and the world.

When I was here in 1963 I was acquainted with Harvard and MIT. Of course, these are not only institutions of learning, but of research. I met Dr. Kissinger there, who was a professor.

That was when I met him. I used to go up a couple times a year to talk to his siminar [sic].

Then we met Professor Kissinger at the same time.

Please give the General Secretary my regards, and I look forward to visiting in the Soviet Union.
