      The SPD party executive publishes a memorandum by Willy Brandt about the possibilities of a new Ostpolitik. It proposes "integrating the Eastern European states into as many forms of communication as possible." What is meant is an extension of trade, technological and cultural ties. The memorandum also says that Western policies should aim to "force concessions for people affected by the division and for the population in the Zone" from the Ulbricht regime.
