At 10 a.m., saw Dr. Judd 【周以德] in his office. His electoral district having been redrawn in a way unfavorable to him, he might not stand for re-election this fall. We talked about “the important question” vote in the Assembly. I explained to him how the U.S.A. reversed its stand on this aspect of the question: in 1950, the U.S.A. in the Security Council claimed that China’s representation was procedure, not substance. Judd had never heard of this episode.
At 10:45, called on the Laotian Ambassador, His Royal Highness Khampan.【1】 He told me that Khrushchev in Vienna told Kennedy that the U.S.S.R. would agree to neutralization of Laos. When McConaughy 【馬康衛] and Steeves were in the State Department, he was told that in the coalition his group could retain Interior and Defense; now Harriman insists that Phouma be given the two posts. He feels Phouma is weak, could not keep the commies in place.
Called on Laking【2】 of New Zealand, Scheyven【3】 of Belgium, and Usakligil【4】 of Turkey. The latter stressed “imperialism” rather than “communism” in U.S.S.R. policy.
Called on Ball:【5】 smiling but very reserved: he is banking on a big split between Moscow and Peiping.
