The U.S. chief executive and
the British prime minister were
expected to devote much of their
two-day talks to the critical prob-
lem of fashioning a common
Western policy to present to Mos-
cow on critical issues, and par-
ticularly the central problem of
West Berlin.
They are expected to talk also
about the crisis over Katanga, the
impact of India's blitzkrieg con-
quest of Portuguese Goa, the Eu-
ropean Common Market and oth-
er issues But the biggest prob-
lems center on Berlin and an Al-
