We ~~-m~d: ~~ available to each of you a very brief statement, telling of the places we visited in the Peoples Republic of China. They are spelled out, but Shanghai, Peking, Shen Yang, ru{~an and Canton. They took us from the coast of China at Shanghai to the North Central part of China at Peking and to the northeastern part of China, where no official Americans have been in 23 years. Finally down to Canton and by rail back into Hong Kong. We have had a most interesting and informative trip and one that I consider most encouraging for the future of the rest of mankind. I yield to Mr. Ford and then simply open the rest of the press conference to questions. ~yli; Let me reiterate what Congressman Boggs has said. There are two things I think we ought to set forth before we get into the question and answer period. Immediately on our return at Andrews Air Force ~ase, we called the President and had a 30-minute conversation with him. We were advised in Peking after our conference with Ch~En~i that there had to be confidentiality concerning the lengthy discussions we had with him. Other·than that I think we are ready willing and able to answer any questions 1 concerning a very fascinating, a very interesting, and I think very helpful 10-day trip to China itself. a. Mr. Ford, Do you feel that, without breaking the confidentiality, that there is any indication that the reports coming out of London during the past week that China and Russia are putting pressure on North Vietnam to end the Vietnam conflict? (( ~· We had no indication of any outside press~. The Chinese made statements comparable to this, and this comment was made by high officials ' (not Chou En-Lai, I might add) that the North Vietnamese are their friends. They naturally support the North Vietnamese: They believe the solution to the problem in Vietnam, between the United States and the North Vietnamese, is one that we must settle at the negotiating table. Digitized from Box D33 of The Ford Congressional Papers: Press Secretary and Speech File at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library -2- Q. The Administration yesterday grantedu. an export license to the Boeing Co. for the sale ot ikiX~aS.ztDxiM*Pa¥X 707 jets (to China). Is this any indication ••• (inaudible). {Boggs) If. We had a great many conversations, and in depth, with officials of the Peoples Republic of China with respect to trade between the United States and China. It is our impression that in the area of high technology such as jet aircraft, computers, advanced medical instruments and the whole realm of advanced chemistry in the United States, the Chinese are very much interested. And the question of day-to-day trade such as we carry on normally with the other nations, Europe or Canada, China hopes to be self sufficient. It's a very large nation that's bigger than the United States. It has vast natural resources, and I would not anticipate any tremendous increase o.t normal trade. On the other hand I do believe that the Boeing 707 sale is a pretty geod indication of the type of trade that we may anticipate in the reasonably near future. ~. Gentlemen, you say in your report that you have a number of recommendations to make to the President. Could you share any of those recommendations with us today? (Ford) f9, Well, I would indicate that Mr. Boggs and I certainly feel that in the field of medicine there is a great opportunity for we in the United States to benefit from the phenomanal things~ they do with acupuncture. On the other hand the Chinese are very, very interested in some of our ' medical advancements. And, therefore I think that we should send to China the benefitsof our research in cancer, heart and stroke. This is an area which would be highly beneficial to both parties. (Boggs) fJ• I would add to that more general recommendations lllD[Xl[][ And these come after certainly a brief visit, one who goes to any land and spends a -3- few days there and returns as an expert is more of a jackass than an expert. But one on the other pand must necessarily form certain conclusions. We were very intensely briefed. We saw a great deal of China physically. We saw many of its inititutions, from its child care centers of kindergarten through middle schools and the universities. We visited the communes, both the agricultural communes and the workers communes. We visited industry, both heavy industry and# light industry, neighborhood industry. And we talkeed to a great many Chinese. It is my impression that the Chinese certainly now are concerned with their internal problems. They are not interested in external aggression. They are very much interested in normalizing relations with the United States. Which, of course, means the recognition of the two governments, the exchange of~mbassadors, the relatively free movement of science and business people, and so on. Q. Mr. Bo_ggs, it seems that Europe is not the "in" place any more, as congressmen and other quoted by government officals, and China is. Do you think there yi J 1 be more con gre ssmen going to China? (Boggs) Well, I would say that was a rather broad generalization inview of the fact that out of 535 congressmen four of them have been there. question asked ----------------------------- (Boggs) The point you make is well taken. I think that a vast number of our , colleagues will try to go to China. And Mr. Ford and I were both asked by many of our colleagues if we could assist in that direction. And we discussed this with Premier Chou En-Lai in some detail. He indicated that he would like to have members of Congress visit China in relatively small groups and in a bipartisan fashion such as the two previous groups. -4- Co~gressman Boggs and Congressman Ford in your statement you called relations with China. on both parties to promote the normalization of . What are you asking your respective parties to do? (Ford) Of course I haven't seen what the Republican Platform preliminary drafts are at the present time. But I do assure you, based on conversations with Congressman John Rhodes, that our party platform will strongly praise the efforts of the President in opening the door and will also JBKZI8XZKK ~ZXH~ZIZ~ZXZK8XE~81ZI8KZ indicate that the normalization of relations should expand in many, many fields. This is a bipartisan effort as indicated by the visit of the two senators and Mr. Boggs and myself. I can't predict the language of the Democratic Platform in this regard, but I suspect it will be one also of favorable comment because this is in the best interest of the United States, not in any one political party. (Boggs) I might add to that that I have been informed that the Democratic Platform specifically calls for the normalization of relations with the Peoples Republic of China. (Ford) One of the questions that Mr. Boggs and I raised specifically was the Chiao Kun-haa1 vice-chairman of Foreign Affairs, Mr. CXKZI'e8~41j was the situation regarding the American prisoners. The response was that lXlX Mr. Downey the civilian and the two military personnel, Smith and Quin~1 was being noted, and ' the question was asked, were there any other American JKI prisoner$ held,kn dg ,~o n1s owe1 e 1 either from the Korean War or the Vietnam War, and the response was¢ ________ no. I think this Kll is very important from the point of view of many ~ wives, mothers and fathers who have been concerned over the years about people assqred missing in action from both engagements. And we were ~there were none other than those who were known by name. -5- G?. Congressman Boggs, what's your reaction to what pour party has done in the way of party reform, specifically the platform ------------ (Boggs) ;;. I'm not really compitent to answer the question. I've been away from the country for two weeks, and developments have been very rapid, and there is one thing you will find out very ~ quickly in the Peoples Republic of China and that is that you don't get very much,... news from other parts of the world.

    Cokie Roberts Congressional Correspondent and Daughter of Representatives Hale and Lindy Boggs of Louisiana Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript May 25, 2017 Office of the Historian U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. “And so she [Lindy Boggs] was on the Banking Committee. They were marking up or writing a piece of legislation to end discrimination in lending. And the language said, ‘on the basis of race, national origin, or creed’—something like that. And as she told the story, she went into the back room and wrote in, in longhand, ‘or sex or marital status,’ and Xeroxed it, and brought it back into the committee, and said, ‘I’m sure this was just an omission on the part of my colleagues who are so distinguished.’ That’s how we got equal credit, ladies.” Cokie Roberts May 25, 2017 Table of Contents Interview Abstract i Interviewee Biography i Editing Practices ii Citation Information iii Interviewer Biographies iii Interview 1 Notes 29 Abstract On May 25, 2017, the Office of the House Historian participated in a live oral history event, “An Afternoon with Cokie Roberts,” hosted by the Capitol Visitor Center. Much of the interview focused on Cokie Roberts’ reflections of her mother Lindy Boggs whose half-century association with the House spanned her time as the spouse of Representative Hale Boggs and later as a Member of Congress for 18 years. Roberts discusses the successful partnership of her parents during Hale Boggs’ 14 terms in the House. She describes the significant role Lindy Boggs played in the daily operation of her husband’s congressional office as a political confidante and expert campaigner—a function that continued to grow and led to her overseeing much of the Louisiana district work when Hale Boggs won a spot in the Democratic House Leadership.
