NOTE
USSR-China-US: According to an FBI report, of-
ficials of the US Communist Party who met privately
with Brezhnev at the Soviet party congress say the
Soviet? leadership refuses to believe that Washing-
ton's China policy was not aimed at putting pressure
on Moscow. The conversation took place shortly after
Peking extended its invitation to the US table tennis
team. Soviet diplomats have recently become more
open in their criticism of US moves toward China,
which Moscow rsees as undermining its efforts to iso-
late Peking. In its propaganda on "ping-pong diplo-
macy" Moscow has stated that attempts to intimidate
the USSR "are doomed to failure."
