After nine months of talks the United States and the Soviet Union remain deadlocked on how to pursue a Berlin settlement. Secretary of State Rusk's talks with Soviet Ambassador Dobrynin failed to secure an access agreement for West Berlin without withdrawal of Western forces, while Western allies split on a 13 nation access control proposal. A possible compromise with West Germany may ease tensions but not resolve the Berlin impasse. Dobrynin said access could be settled only as part of a package deal for a new free city.
