• 116. Paper Agreed Upon by the United States and the Soviet Union, Moscow, May 29, 1972

  Source: Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: Richard Nixon, 1972, pp. 633-634. The text was signed by President Nixon and General Secretary Brezhnev. Following the signing, Kissinger briefed the press. Speaking of the text of the “Basic Principles,” Kissinger stated in part:
  “As in every document, this document indicates an aspiration and an attitude, and if either the aspiration or the attitude changes, then, of course, as sovereign countries, either side can change its course. Nothing in this document entitles us to give up our alliances or would justify lowering the efforts that have brought us to this point; but at the same time, it is an event of considerable significance that the countries whose seemingly irreconcilable hostility has characterized the entire postwar period, and the two countries which, between themselves or, indeed, individually have the capacity to destroy humanity are making an effort which would state some principles which would reduce the dangers of war and which would enable them to promote a more stable international system.” (Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents, Vol. 8, June 5, 1972, p. 952)
