313. Memorandum From the President’s Assistant for National Security Affairs (Kissinger) to the Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality (Train)1 2
Washington, January 14, 1972.
SUBJECT:
- Environmental Cooperation with the People’s Republic of China
It was very helpful of you to have detailed a number of eco!ogical matters where we might seek to establish cooperative programs with the People’s Republic of China, as outlined in your memo of January 4. While, as you note, at the present time there is little evidence of Chinese interest in environmental cooperation, it is certainly useful for us to keep possible areas of mutual interest in mind.
We will certainly keep these ideas in mind as we proceed With planning for the President’s trip.
Henry A. Kissinger
