Charles Wick reported in on his trip to Russia on the matter of cultural & youth exchanges. There must be some spin off of the summit. He had meetings with the very top echelon of Soviet leaders & apparently they are willing to cooperate on exchanges. A meeting with 3 top Contra leaders (Nicaragua) Robelo, Calero & Cruz. They are here to help us persuade Cong. to help the freedom fighters. They are an answer to the left wing propaganda that the freedom fighters are led by former Somoza honchos. Two of these 3 were imprisoned by Somoza and the other one is a defector from the Sandinistas.

Had my regular meeting with Geo. S. & then off to Camp D.
