THE White House announced on June 29th that A President Eisenhower had approved a National Security Council recommendation that the United States take bilateral action in seeking exchanges of information and persons with the Soviet bloc “along the lines” of a 17‐point program advanced unsuccessfully last October by the US, Britain, and France at the Geneva foreign ministers conference. “Although this program was unacceptable to the Soviet Government at that time,” the White House statement said, “the President believes that such a program, if carried out in good faith and with true reciprocity, may now contribute to the better understanding of the peoples of the world that must be the foundation of peace.”
