Kerry's Senate Foreign Relations Committe testimony,Page 188 in the Congressional Record text:

Quote:
Extraordinary Response Demanded by Extraordinary Question
Mr. Kerry: Mr. Chairman, I realize that full well as a study of political science. I realize that we cannot negotiate treaties and I realize that even my visits in Paris, precedents had been set by Senator McCarthy and others, in a sense are on the borderline of private individuals negotiating, et cetera. I understand these things.


This was on April 22, 1971.

The audio version makes clear that "trips" is indeed plural.

It has also been established that Kerry made a "so-called second trip" to Paris later in the summer of 1971. This from FBI files and Gerald Nicosia's research as published and/or reported earlier this year.

So if Kerry referred to more than one trip to Paris before his Senate testimony, and we know he made a trip to Paris after the Senate testimony, then there were at least three trips.

And this does not refer to Kerry's additional trip planned with Al Hubbard which Hubbard eventually made alone.

I pondered the same thing about that quote...
Could be though, that taken literally, visits IN Paris, he could have meant more than one meeting , on one trip

I've wondered if he went to Hanoi, like some of the others did.....

Jean Rambeau Kerri....call home
1 -800- Hanoi
