[Text] In his "Report on the Work of the Government," Premier Chou En-lai mentioned that we will continue to implement Chairman l4ac•s revolutionary line in foreign affairs and talked about our foreign policies and principles. After mentioning the the relations between our country and the Third World and between our countrr and those of the second ~orld sueh as West Europe and Japan, the report also mentions the relations between China and the United States.
Premier Chou En-lai said in his report: "There exist :f'undamental dif.terences between China and the United States. Because of the joint efforts of both sides, the relations between tl.e two countries have improved to some extent in the last 3 ,-ears, and contacts between th& two peoples have developed. The relations between the two countries will continue to improve as long as the principles of the Sino-American Shanghai communique are ca1-ried out in earnest." The three sentences are composed of 76 characters. --In the last 3 years, the relations between China and the United States have·improved. It has been nearly 3 years since President Nixonts visit to China in 1972 and the publication of the joint communique on 27 Februar,. in Shanghai.
Touching on matters of principle, the Shanghai communique said: "The:;:oe are essential differences between China and the United States in their social systems and toreign policies. However, the two. sides agreed that countries, regardless of their social systems, should conduct their relations on the principles or respect tor the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states, nonaggression against other · states, noninterference in the 1-nternal aftairs ot other states, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence. International disputes should be settled on this basis, without resorting to the use or threat of force. The United States and the People's Republic of Chir~ are prepared to apply these principles to their mutual relations •11
During the past 3 years, friendly exchanges between the Chinese and American people have showed new develcpment. The Chinese table tennis delegation, the acrobatic troupe, the Wushu delegation nnd scientific, medical and journalist delegations have successivel,- visited the United States and have received a warm welcome. An exhibition of Chinese cultural relies is being held in the United States. 11 China. te-ver" has emerged in the United States. American scientific, medi6al and university ~
presidents delegations and a number of U.s. -China fi"iendship organ:tzaUons have also visited China and l:ere sincer~ly welcomed. The Chinese and American people are increasing their mutual under•stanCiing and friendship.
During this period, China and the United States established liaison offices 1n both capitalS.
During this period, Henry A. Kissinger, u.s. secretary of state and assistant to the President for national secu~ity affai-s, flew to Peking four times to visit China. The first trip was Nade in 1972. Kissinger visited Chinn trom 19-23 June and held extenGive talks with Premier Chou En-lai and other responsible persons. A was released.

I. 5 Feb 75 A 2 PRC INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
The second visit was made on the eve or the first anniversarr of the publication of the Sino-U.s. Shanghai communique. He viaited China trom 15-19 February 1973. The OODDIIUllique issued on 22 February said: 11 They reaffirmed the principles of the joint coamunique issued at Shanghai in February 1972 and their joint commitment to bring about a normalization ot relations. They held-thOt the·progress·tbat-r~s-been·madeduring thia period is beneficial to the people of their two countries."
The third visit was made troa 10-1~ November 1973, and was the second trip in the aUle year. The communique issued at that time said: "Both aides reviewed progress ade during 1973 in their bilateral relations.· The U.s. side reaft.'irmed: The United States acknowledges tlULt all Chinese on either side ot the Taiwan strait maintain
·there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China; the United States Governaent does not challenge that position. The Chinese side reiterated that the normalisation of relations between China and the United States can be rea1ized only on the ba•ia ot: confirming the principle of one China. 11
The last visit was made from 25-29 November 1974. Kissinger brought his wife and cbildren along with him on this visit. The communique issued on 29 November said: •The Chinese and u.s. sides held frank, wide-ranging and mv.tually beneficial talks. They reaffirmed their unclUlnged commitment to the principles of the Shanghai communique. The tvo governments agreed that P7.'esident Gerald R. Ford would visit the People's Republic of China in 1975." This announcement, made only 3 months a.rter President Ford took office, received worldwide attention.
Most recently, President Ford wrote a letter to Premier Chou En-lai in the latter part ot January to congratulate him on his appointment as premier of the State Council of the People 1 s Republic of China.
On the relations between China and the United States, the letter reads: "I look forward to meeting with you later this year to discuss matters of common concern and interest. While as you noted in your report to the congress, fundamental differences remain between our two countries, I remain hopeful that through common efforts we can overcome these differences and advance the cause of normalizing Sino-American relationa and thua fulfill the joint commitment expressed in the Shanghai communique of 1972. 11 The Chinese translation ot these two long sentences consists of 119 characters.
This letter ot congratulations baa also aroused public attention. A message sent by a Western news agency trom Peking said: "Western observers in Peking are quite interested in this letter of congratulations. To them, this letter is not merely an expression of courtesy because it almost answered point by point Chou En-lai 1 8 words on SinoAmerican relations in his report to the 4th National People's Congren on 13 Januaey."
People might ask: What is the present and future status relations between China and the United States?
What is said 1n Premier Chou•a report and in President Ford•a letter of congratulations 1a the beat answer.

Peking Informed of Continuing U. S. Military Withdrawals from Taiwan
Assistant Secretary Habib called in PRCLO Deputy Chief Han Hsu for· a. meeting.
Acting on the Secretary's instro~tions, Mr. Habib informed Han of ~~e on-going process of American military withdrawals from Taiwan. He indicated that Tainan airbase will be put on ca;t"e-taker status by mid-1975. Ching Chuan Kang airbase will be put 'on care-taker status by the end of 1975. He also reiterated that the remaining F-4 squadron will be withdrawn from the island in May of this year, and indicated that with these changes our military manpower on the island will be reduced to about Z, 800 men by mid-1975. He added that we will b":'orm the PRC later o! an even lower manpower level to be reached by tac end of the Y.ear.
' Mr. Habib informed Han that House leaders Carl'Albert and John Rhodes had approached the Secretary and asked that they have an opportunity to visit the PRC on the same basis as the previous trips by Congressional leaders such as lv!ansfield and Scott, Boggs and Ford. The Secretary
-indicated to them he would support such a request with our China.fricnds. Mr. Habib o.clclcd th::~.t such a visit v..-ould be in the interest of both sides, given the important lcadr.n·ship role of the two rnen in the House. he suggested that such a "special visit," which we did not consider part

of the regular exchange package negotiated last November, might take place during the spring Congressional recess in late March or early April. He anticipated that the two men would want a trip of about two weeks, and would bring a small traveling party. Mr. Habib indicated that the Secretary hoped the PRC would give consideration to the Albert/Rhodes request.
Mr. Lord indicated that the Secretary would be da?arting over the weekend for the Middle East. He said t~e Secretary had asked that Peking be informed that he would m\'-.et with Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko in Geneva on February 16. The u.s. would raise only Middle East issues but the Soviets might raise other topics.
Mr. Lord also informed Ambassador Han that, as a result of a Presidential decision·, we were changing our arms assistance policy toward the Subcontinent and would be approving an arms supply package for Pakistan. This development would be announced about two weeks after the Secretary returns from the Middle East. Han responded that this was good news and that the u.s. side had on many occasions been informed that the PRC favors American arms aid to Pakistan.
At the end of· the session with Mr. Habib, the Secretary received Ambassador Han and his associates briefly on another matter.

Secretary Kissinger: I wanted to talk to you for a couple of minutes. I understand that Messrs. Habib· and Lord have already talked to you about my trip. About the Gromyko visit, I don't know whether you know American football, but the Soviets act as if they were playing American football and they know only one play and are always running it. Their play is for Gromyko to see me so that they can pretend that they are part of the process. I am seeing him at the end of my discussions so it is clear that they are not part of it. We will have a meaningless conversation on the Middle East with him. They have told us that they want to raise other issues. We will not raise other issues. We will let you know when we return what we discussed.
In addition to visiting the people already announced, I plan to see the Shah in Switzerland on this trip. This is really all I need to add about the trip to what my colleagues to1d you·

Ambassador Han: As Vice Premier Teng told you in Peking, on the Middle East question we support the Palastinian Arabs at the same time that we support the way yo~ are dealing with the Russians.
Secretary Kissinger: There will be no results on this trip. We are planning for results in March, not now. We are trying to create the objective conditions on this trip for results in March.
Now I would like to say a word to you about Cambodia. We hear many Chinese views through the French Asmassador [in Peking], but we are not always sure that the French Ambassador•s emotions are in tune with his reason. I want to make clear that we are prepared for an outcome of a government which will be headed by Prince Sihanouk, as I already indicated in November, with the idea that some elements of the existing structure in Phnom Penh, but not Lon Nol, might be integrated into the government of Prince Sihanouk. If Prince Sihanouk wanted to hear from us rather than the French Ambassador, we would be glad to authorize a member of our Embassy to explain our position to Prin.ce Sihanouk or to a person designated by· .Prince :Sihano~k._ .: ,: ·

Ambassador Han: As I have said to Mr. Habib, the Chinese position on this matter is that we wish that the United States not interfere in Cambodian internal affairs and that the Cambodian people should be left to solve their problems by themselves ~ The Chinese position is to give complete support to the just· struggle of the Cambodian people and not to interfere in the internal affairs of Cambodia. Just recently Prince Sihanouk and GRUNK reiterated their determination to continue the strugg~ and not engage in peaceful negotiations, and we support their positi on.
Secretary Kissinger: I would appreciate your passing this message to your Foreign Minister, and you can communicate the answer to Habib, or to me after I return.

Ambassador Han: I will report this. I don't know if there is anything new1 though.
Secretary Kissinger: I am not surprised by your answer but I would appreciate your reporting this for the record, and since this is an official communication I am assuming that your government will give us an answer.

Debrief of the Secretary's Middle East Trip and Meeting with Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko
Secretary Kissinger: do the interpreting?
You have two interpreters today. Who is going to
Ambassador Huang: Anyone can.
First, I would like to transmit two letters of appreciation, one from Premier Chou En-lai to President Ford, and the other from Foreign Minister Ch'iao to you as Secretary of State.
(The Secretary reads the two letters attached here at Tab A.)
Secretary Kissinger: Well, I appreciate these messages, and I will transmit the Prime Minister's message to the President. fto Mr. Solomon;] Would you take it?
I wanted to talk with you about my visit to Geneva, my discussion with Foreign Minister Gromyko. With respect to the Middle East, I think it is

correct to say that the Soviets don 1t fully approve of my activities. In fact, they are rather insistent on more active participation [Jor themselve§] than any of the parties /Jo the Middle East disput~ want to give them. We expect to continue on the course which I outlined to you last time. I think we have a good opportunity to make some progress, especially between Israel and Egypt, but eventually also between Israel and Syria.
I plan to go back to the Middle East around March 10. I hope to make some concrete progress then.
Other subjects: The discussions {j:m other than Middle Eastern topic§] were more normal and friendlier. We discussed the Vladivostok agreement, how to implement it, as well as the European Security Conference.
In the economic field, there were no serious discussions. They were very intrested in the President's trip to China, they wanted to know what topics will be discussed. I told them we haven 1t even begun exploratory discussions -- which I doubt they believe even though it happens to be true. They were on this occasion showing more concern with the People1 s Republic than on other ones, especially with respect to your relations with Japan.
That was the major subject of the conversation with the Soviets -- there was also some discussion about the Brezhnev visit here before the end of the summer.
On the rest of the trip, I was mostly dealing with our European allies on matters of energy, informing them on the Middle East situation. I think we made some good progress on cooperative arrangements with Western Europe.
We will, as you know, announce resumption of arms sales to Pakistan on Monday.
Ambassador Huang: Monday?
Secretary Kissinger: We have already informed the Indians about that.
These are the major things I wanted to tell you.
Ambassador Huang: matters .
...aBCRET
Thank you, Dr. Kissinger, for telling us about these
SECRET" 3
As for the question of Pakistan, you discussed this matter in Peking. This [matter of resuming U.S. military assistance to Pakistati7 is a good thing. We think we should all support Pakistan in its struggle for national sovereignty and independence.
Secretary Kissinger: We support this Chinese view. I also talked to the Shah about training and the transfer of arms to Pakistan.
Ambassador Huang: We are sure that our Pakistani friends will be pleased.
Secretary Kissinger: We are being harrassed by House leaders about the possibility of visiting China. If you could put them out of their misery with a reply one way or the other
Ambassador Huang: House?
Secretary Kissinger: Rhodes and Albert.
Ambassador Huang: We have reported to our government on this matter. When we have a reply we will report it to you.
Secretary Kissinger: We will appreciate it.
Ambassador Huang: So you will go on the lOth of March?
Secretary Kissinger: I may leave as early as the 5th. I promised to attend an award ceremony for the British Foreign Minister, and I might spend a few days there. I will be in Egypt by the 7th -- we will go to Aswan.
Ambassador Huang: You said you made some good progress with the French on the energy question. What sort of progress?
Secretary Kissinger: They agree with our proposals. No -- as I said in my energy speech (of February 3), we are seeking a joint position on guaranteed price and alternative sources. This is not just the French, also the British and the Germans. We also made progress on preparatory arrangements for a conference of producers and consumers. The conference may convene about April 10.
Ambassador Huang: say goodbye then.

Secretary Kissinger: No, I am always glad to see you. You can stay in touch with Ambassador Habib if there are any developments to report to us, or you can get in touch with me.
