When they were not being quizzed or beaten, Pueblo's men were continually subjected to Communist propaganda. They were told early in June, for example, that Robert Kennedy had been killed-by President Johnson. In time, the crew was afforded slightly better treatment. They were occasionally allowed to exercise together, most often by trimming the grass around their prison building with pocket knives. But the beatings and terror never ended until...
...Code of Conduct. "It is a simple, single, clear standard to all services," says former Army Chief of Staff General Harold Johnson. "If you have mushy instructions, you have mushy performance." The Air Force, on the other hand, draws an informal distinction between disclosing military intelligence and signing propaganda statements. It values its flyers too much to sacrifice them just to avoid some national embarrassment. Hence, they are tacitly permitted, if shot down, to cooperate with the enemy to preserve their lives and wellbeing...
...Propaganda Bombardment. Some procedural matters remained-primarily those that would determine the conference rules. At the end of the first session, however, Vance announced that all sides had reached full agreement on the procedures to be followed in later meetings.

Some pessimists in Washington, as a matter of fact, expect no major progress before midsummer. The bargaining, as Bunker put it in Saigon, will be "long, tough, complex and arduous." But at least there will be bargaining, and not just posturing...
Until now, Beirut has tacitly allowed the fedayeen free rein for propaganda and recruiting, so long as they refrained from training in the country or operating across the border. Karami's vague promise "to work by all means to serve the Palestine question" seemed to indicate no intention of changing that policy, if he is given a choice. He may not be. The Israelis insist that the fedayeen have bases in Lebanon and have used them for military action against Israel. Lebanon denies this. What is almost certain is that Lebanon is being used as a transit area...
