Lying on a beach in Puerto Rico, I was pleased to learn from this telegram that thirteen years after the “kitchen conference,” I would be returning to Moscow with Richard Nixon:

CONFIRM PRESIDENT WANTS BOTH YOU AND PRICE TO

ACCOMPANY HIM TO

RUSSIA THOUGHT THIS MIGHT MAKE A GREAT

VACATION EVEN BETTER REGARDS
