- Summary: 1. MV ZOOM OUT TO GTV PAN Nixon takes main stand 0.13 2. GV PAN Nixon (SOF) 1.34 TRANSCRIPT: SEQ. 2: NIXON: "We all must recognise that the United States and the Soviet Union have very profound and fundamental differences. It would can be eliminated merely by better personal relationships between the heads of our governments. Such a view would slight the seriousness of our disagreements. Genuine progress n our relations calls for specifics, not merely atmospherics. A detente is built by a series of actions not by a superficial shift in the apparent mood. It would not be realistic to suggest that all we need to improve our relations is better mutual understanding. Understanding is necessary. But we do understand one another well enough to know that our differences are real and in many respects we will continue to be competitors. Our task is to keep that competition peaceful, to make it creative. Neither would it be realistic to deny that power has a role in our relations. Power is a fact of international life. Our mutual obligation is to discipline that power, to seek together with other nations to ensure that it is used to maintain the peace, not to threaten the peace. Neither of us wants a nuclear exchange that would cost the lives of tens of millions of people. Initials JB/DW/SGM/2156 JB/DW/SGM/2216 Script is copyright Reuters Limited. All rights reserved
