- Dobrynin’s report was submitted by Gromyko to the Politburo only on 12 July. SAR,
no. 24, pp. 66, 70n1. - By February 1970, Washington officials admitted that “they could not believe their ears”
when the Soviets rejected the Rogers Plan in December, as this in effect tore up under-
standings that had been reached months before between Rogers and Gromyko as well as
between Sisco and Dobrynin. They attributed the about-face to Nasser’s “veto” over Soviet
policy. Philip Benn, Ma’ariv, 27 February 1970, p. 10. - Kirk J. Beattie, Eg ypt during the Nasser Years, Boulder, CO: Westview, 1994, p. 225.
