East West pact on aggression tangled with Berlin issue
In a joint four sentence communique the three leaders see potential accord in space and support a ban on orbiting nuclear weapons. US diplomats expect a public pledge rather than a formal treaty to ban orbiting weapons, arguing such weapons have little military use and could be policed poorly.
