Nixon Goes to China; Henry Salvatori Fires Off a Letter With Jaffa


Here's the paragraph with the relevant names in bold. It was taken from Eric J. Ladley's Nixon's China Trip

“Professor Henry Joffa [sic] of Claremont Men’s College on July 19 sent a letter to Nixon from a Henry Salvatori, who had helped formulate a position in 1960 on the reality of the Sino-Soviet split for the Republican National Committee. While Salvatori said he agreed with Nixon, he predicted the president’s policy would break the Republican Party apart. He later recommended explaining the long range thinking behind the move to conservatives, and possibly recruiting Reagan as a spokesman. (59)”

The citation is purportedly from “Kissinger memoirs, pp. 280-281.”
