Gorbachev proposed a regional nuclear restraint deal and said the Soviet fleet at Cam Ranh Bay could be given up if the United States withdraws from Philippine bases. He spoke in Krasnoyarsk at a 14 hour session with party and local officials. Tass summarized the plan calling for not deploying new weapons in Asia and a summit with Beijing.
