Gromyko and Rusk Hold Private Berlin Talk in Geneva
In Geneva a private meeting between Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk sought to avert a deepening East West Berlin dispute. The discussion followed a day of deadlock and centered on Gromyko’s vague plan for a watch on land air and sea corridors linking West Berlin to West Germany. The proposal risks Western acceptance and could pressure recognition of East Germany while offering a potential new starting point for broader disarmament talks. The 17 nation disarmament conference was suspended after a U.N. official’s death.
