...certain thaw in relations between our countries that took place in connection with the favorable reception accorded [Deputy Premier] Mikoyan." Picking up President Eisenhower's press-conference comment on Mikoyan's visit, that "you couldn't do this" with Premier Khrushchev, he exclaimed in mock dismay: "This is something very close to discrimination." He invited Eisenhower to visit the Soviet Union-"and we don't make this invitation conditional on reciprocity; we don't impose our visits on anybody."
