Q13. Mr. Moyle

asked the Prime Minister what approaches he has received from the United States Government subsequent to President Johnson's announcement of economic measures on 1st January, 1968, seeking an increase in trade between the United States and the United Kingdom.

The Prime Minister

A mission led by Mr. Katzenbach, an Under-Secretary in the State Department, paid two visits to London in the first week of January to explain the economic measures being considered by the United States Administration, against the background of President Johnson's reaffirmation, in his Message to the Nation, that trade liberalisation remained the basic policy of the United States.
