WASHINGTON (A) - Secretary
of State Christian A. Herter yes-
terday gave a final report to the
Senate on United States affairs
abroad.
Members of the Senate foreign
relations committee said the re-
port was "not very encouraging."
Herter particularly defended the
United States break in relations
with Cuba and the United States
position on Laos.
His report was made to the
committee behind closed doors.
Committee chairman Sen. J. Wil-
liam Fulbright (D-Ark) later re-
viewed it with reporters.
Comment on Decision
Sen. Albert Gore (D-Tenn) a
member of the committee, told
reporters he felt the break with
Cuba was inadvisable. But Ful-
bright said he did not wish to
criticize the decision.
Cuba, Laos and the Congo are
the main issues discussed, Ful-
bright said, although Herter's re-
port also touched on Berlin, the
United States balance of pay-
ments, Algeria and the December
meeting of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.
uibright indicated the United
States would favor the reconstitu-
tion of a three-nation interna-
tional control commission in Laos,
if the pro-Western government of
Premier Boun Oum should wish
it.
Oppose Commission
The Soviet Union has opposed
re-assembling the commission,
composed of Canada, Poland and
India. The commission was creat-
May Create.
lNew Envmoy
WASHINGTON (A-President-
elect John F. Kennedy is believed
to be considering sending a spe-
cial emissary to see Soviet Pre-
mier Nikita S. Khrushchev.
The emissary would sound out
whatever ideas Khrushchev may
have for improving Soviet-Amer-
ican relations.
The mission to Moscow presum-
ably would be assigned to former
New York Gov. W. Averell Har-
riman, whom Kennedy named a
week ago to be his ambassador-
at-large.
In the Kennedy camp, there is
said to be a strong feeling that
the new administration must act
as quickly as possible after taking
office to sound out Khrushchev.
rt
ed in 1954 as an outgrowth of the
Geneva settlement of the then
critical Indochinese dispute.
Fulbright, said he feels there is
no justification for criticism in
Europe that the United States is
following a "trigger happy" policy
in Laos. The Russians have made
things worse by flying supplies
to Communist troops, he said.
In Laos, as well as in other,
areas, he said, Herter indicated.
the Russians have left the im-
pression they do not care to pro-
ceed on problems until the Ken-
nedy administration comes in.
Situation Serious
On Berlin, Fulbright said, Her-
ter indicated the situation was
very serious, with far reaching im-
plications. But the outgoing sec-
retary had little new to say one
this point, the committee chair-
man said.
Both Fulbright and Sparkman
said there was great provocation
for the United States to break re-
lations with Cuba. Sparkman said
he acepts Herter's stand that it
was impossible to operate under
conditions laid down by Cuban
Prime Minister Fidel Castro.
Fulbright said he did not wish
to comment on a possible trade
embargo or economic sanctions
against Cuba,
