"Respected Mr. Prime Minis- ter," Chou wrote, "The peoples of our two countries desire that we act promptly.

This action will ensure, Chou said, "that our two countries will never again have apprehension or come to a clash on account of| all border issues." | Chou's letter followed Premier| Nikita Khrushchev's informal| promise Saturday night that he| would "do everything" to help end the border tension.
