The Prime Minister of Britain, 3Ir. Edward
Heath, invited me upon my appointment as Prime Minister, to
visit Britain for discussions.
I informed Heath that although I could not
accept the invitation immediately, I would do so as soon as it
became practicable. We have now agreed that I should visit the
United Kingdom as part of my forthcoming journey.
In the circumstances that exist, it is
appropriate that I should visit both London and Washington.
