“We intend to press for legislative authority to negotiate trade agreements which could extent most-favored-nation tariff treatment to European Communist states…
We will reduce export controls on East-West trade with respect to hundreds of non-strategic items.”
(
President Lyndon Johnson
, among the “non-strategic items” cleared for export were: petroleum, aluminum, scrap metal, synthetic rubber, tires, air navigation equipment, ground and marine radar, rifle cleaning compounds, diethylene glycol (used in the manufacture of explosives), computers, electric motors, rocket engines, diesel engines, diesel fuel, and various truck and automobile parts. Two weeks later the
New York Times
reported: “The Soviet Union and its allies agreed at the conference of their leaders in Moscow last week to grant North Vietnam assistance in material and money amounting to about one billion dollars.” October 7, 1966.)
