He called for a definite start date, possibly in June, and dismissed studying the speech’s meaning as inadequate. Brezhnev offered March 30 reductions aimed at reducing military confrontation in NATO areas.

West German farmers seek currency float and farm price shifts
An all-night meeting resolved patches to the policy of farm price support and free trade, aiming to float the mark. As the mark strengthened, West German farmers faced fewer marks per product and cheaper imports from France and other Common Market nations. Border taxes on imports and subsidies for farmers were allowed to level prices, a step West Germans were determined to pursue.
