In other words. the Soviet Unions success and the United States failure depends on Nasser and his position of leadership in the Arab world. Mistakenly. it seems to me. Secretary of State Rogers recently indicated a U.S. policy of concession and mollification of Nasser thereby causing dismay to our nonCommunist friends. Instead. I would hope for termination of the Four Power discussions and instead a forthright expression of support of Israel and of a program of direct negotiations between the Arab and Israel countries over their border and refugee differences. U.S. national interests lie in the downgrading of Nasser as an Arab leader. and the firm and forthright demonstration of our support for Israel.
