The U.S. Secretary of State, Dr. Henry Kissinger, told reporters that Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Soviet writer who was deported to West Germany, would be welcome in the United States if he wished to live there. Dr. Kissinger expressed concerns about the potential impact of American reactions to Solzhenitsyn’s expulsion on the U.S. Government’s detente policies with the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, the British Prime Minister, Mr. Edward Heath, invited Solzhenitsyn to come to Britain. Solzhenitsyn revealed that he was held in a Moscow prison before being deported. He expressed surprise at being taken to West Germany. His wife, Mrs. Solzhenitsyn, stated that she had not received any official word about the deportation and remained unsure of her plans. It was announced that Solzhenitsyn’s family could join him. German writer Mr. Heinrich Boell stated that Solzhenitsyn was likely to go somewhere other than West Germany, but the final decision had not been made yet.
