Nixon Brezhnev Meet at White House Looms Over Europe
President Nixon and Soviet leader Brezhnev conducted talks on a 90 point agenda aimed at easing European concerns about U.S.-Soviet agreements. A 20 page communique was prepared to signal a calming approach to the Cold War and to guide policy in the Middle East and Indochina. Brezhnev planned to address the nation from a taped broadcast as he prepares to depart for France. Demonstrators near the White House protested Soviet ties. Brezhnev will join Nixon at a poolside reception with Gov. Reagan and Hollywood figures, then depart for the East Coast to greet Skylab astronauts.
