Soviet Leader Urges Deep Nuclear Reductions in Europe
Gromyko calls for sweeping disarmament including intermediate range and tactical missiles, proposing parity with Britain and France and backing limits for European based systems. He notes Soviet missiles would shift behind a Siberian line if over the agreed European total. Genscher cites NATO reaction to Soviet advances as a trigger for change. The White House rejects informal Geneva understandings as basis for any deal and reiterates the goal of scrapping all medium range missiles. Rostow and Nitze face criticism for overstepping instructions while praising the exploratory framework.
