Synopsis: The Soviets shot down an American pilot during the Cold War. What happened when it was revealed the pilot was on a spy mission?
Excerpt:
"I replied by advising the Soviet leader that I had, during the previous week, stopped these flights and they would not be resumed. I offered also to discuss the matter with him in personal meetings, while the regular business of the summit might proceed. Obviously, I would not respond to his extreme demands. He knew, of course, by holding to those demands the Soviet Union was scuttling the summit conference.
Question:
Choose the sentence in this excerpt that demonstrates Khrushchev knew ahead of time that his demands would be unacceptable to the United States.
