...even-handedness has been an aim of the Administration since its recognition of Peking. Promised Carter two weeks ago: "We will be cautious in not trying to have an unbalanced relationship [with] China and the Soviet Union." But his willingness to let Teng denounce the Soviets on U.S. soil and the use of the buzzword hegemony will now make that balancing act more difficult. Just how much was a subject of disagreement. A White House aide insisted that Carter believes there will be no effect on U.S.-Soviet relations...

...Middle East. What we need is a "Carter plan" on the lines of the Marshall Plan, for helping us defend our borders and for raising our standard of living. You should make it easier for your friends to buy arms from you so they can defend their soil and live in a free country. I don't want a loan or aid from you, I want a partnership. For example, I have some of the richest soil in the world here. Let us take 100,000 acres and build an agro-industrial complex. The production of food will...
