Says the Communists are determined to win.” “The Golden Moment (to get them to quit) has passed... 12:15:00 Talks about negotiating w/ Chinese Communists. Says 1946 cease-fire in China didn’t bring peace, but brought war. 12:16:4? Judd asked if he regrets any of his past positions. 12:17:??

Judd asked where responsibility lies in Congress for the foreign policy. “This is one that we don’t have to take responsibility for because we’ve (Republicans) fought it every step of the way... 12:21:3? How would you characterize our foreign policy overall? Judd: Well, our foreign policy was based on the belief that we could win the friendship of the Kremlin by sacrificing our allies; we could woo our enemies by betraying our friends. And now our policy, since that other one has failed, is devoted to trying to explain why we couldn’t win instead of finding the means by which we could win. And I say this, I hope that we’ll turn over a new leaf & get our policy into the hands of people who can think about the future instead of the past.” 12:22:14 Announcer wraps it up w/ commercial for specialty watches.
