1 In his memoirs, written before the successes of the CSCE were achieved, Kissinger spoke of the CSCE as an obstacle demanding American forbearance. By 1972, he said in the 1982 memoirs,

so many West European leaders had agreed to culminate the conference at a summit gathering that there was no longer any purpose in America’s holding out on this point. … And the remaining issues in what later became the Helsinki Final Act were too abstruse—they were mostly pedantic drafting problems in a collective document—to lend themselves to top-level solutions, though they were discussed inconclusively at considerable length.
