really know who is responsible for this calumny. During my visit to the United States United Kingdom, France, Germany, Austria and Belgium, the point I emphasized publicly as well as privately was the immediate need for a political settlement. We waited nine months for it. When Dr. Kissinger came in August 1971, I had emphasized to him the importance of seeking an early political settlement. But we have not received, even to this day, the barest framework of a settlement which would take into account the facts as they are and not as we imagine them to be.
Be that as it may it is my earnest and sincere hope that with all the knowledge and deep understanding of human affairs you, as President of the United States and reflecting the will, the aspirations and idealism of the great American People, will at least let me know where precisely we have gone wrong before your representatives or spokesmen deal with us with such harshness of language,
With regards and best wishes,
