Dear Mr. President:
When you stood at the microphone and broadcast to the world that the Russians are dishonest, liars, cheats and respond only to force, you disqualified your self as a negotiator. You might think the things you said, but no public official with an ounce of deplomacy would say them.
Your remarks to the British Parliament…..we are “waging a campaign to sell democratic institutions to deposit Communism on the ash heap of history” (shades of Kruchev’s ‘we will bury you’) only lead to world tension, especially when accompanied by your remarks and those of Weinberger that a nuclear war is winnable.
There are hopeful signs coming from Russia that an advance toward Peace can be accomplished IF the right person is sent to negotiate. Kenneth Adelman does not qualify in the opinion of many.
A psychologists from each country to sit in on the negotiations would be valuable.
Gen. George Marshall, listening to two bigshots, one from each country (the U.S. and the U.S.S.R) said to his companion, “Listen to those two - they are not trying to understand each other – each is trying to outdo the other.” Too much of that kind of behavior has brought us to bankruptcy and the brink of destruction.
I am sincere,
(Ms) Cordye Hall
