| Description: | These are busy days at the White House with one important foreign visitor following another. First, Harold Wilson, Britain's new Prime Minister, arrives for two days of talks with President Johnson. Most important item on agenda: future of the Atlantic Alliance and the allied nuclear defense. Three days later there is a visitor from the other side of the Iron Curtain as Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko confers with the President and Dean Rusk. Neither side seems to have offered any new initiative to reduce East-West tension. Washington DC The grounds of the White House Ambassadors limousine pulling up.
