Reagan to Use UN Disarmament Session to Expose Kremlin Hypocrisy
President Reagan plans a high profile U N disarmament address to frame Soviet hypocrisy on nuclear sanity. A U S memo outlines a multi media exhibit and a world disarmament push with a high level delegation to discuss arms control in a bid to embarrass the Kremlin and boost Western unity.
