SV Kissinger speaks 1.47 KISSINGER: "We still hope that some of the steps that were taken when certain assumptions were made about the principal American objective in that aria will be changed when it becomes apparent that we are attempting to bring about a just peace. However it is clear that if pressures continue unreasonably and indefinitely, that then the United States will have t consider what counter-measures it will have to take." KISSINGER: "At this point to go through the whole sequence of events would only bring about a recitation of a situation of confrontation, a score-card of who won or lost which we do not believe would contribute to the atmosphere of confidence that is necessary." KISSINGER: "If the Soviet Union were to introduce nuclear weapons into a local conflict, this would be a very grave matter and would be a fundamental shift in traditional practices and one hard to reconcile with an effort to bring about a responsible solution. But I repeat we have evidence, or at least we have no confirmed evidence that this has been the case." Initials APSM/1927 Script is copyright Reuters Limited. All rights reserved
