WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Nixon’s Europe-
an trip later this month is
being expanded to include
a visit to Communist Yu-
goslavia—the first trip
there by an American
president, the White House
announced today.
Nixon, who leaves Wash-
ington Sept. 27, also will
meet with leaders in Italy,
Spain and Britain, it was
reported earlier.
Press secretary Ronald
L. Ziegler said there
“were no plans at this
time” to add stops in any
other country but added,
“There is always that pos-
sibility.”
Ziegler ruled out visits
to France or West Germa-
ny, saying Nixon would not
extend his trip because of
commitments on his Octo-
ber calendar.
Asked to be more specif-
ic about October plans.
Ziegler spoke of “commit-
ments that we are not pre-
pared to tell you at this
time.”
The spokesman said Nix-
on accepted a “a long-
standing invitation” from
