Ford criticizes Moscow trip and U S Soviet ties
Former President Ford told 400 University of Michigan students that excessive optimism and rhetoric surrounded Secretary Vance's failed Moscow visit. He warned the Carter administration risks a total arms race if no new agreement by October 3. Ford blamed public rhetoric for hardening talks and called human rights concerns a matter of technique.

Soviet Surpriser Surprises Vance In Briefing
Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance told House officials the Soviet Union had advance notice of a week on the essential details of the U.S. arms proposal and the general shape of the plan. He spoke after a secret briefing to the House International Relations Committee, saying the Soviets were informed well in advance. Some lawmakers praised U.S. motion toward nuclear parity but questioned public handling of the disclosure. Foreign Minister Gromyko allegedly received the details through diplomatic channels. The administration also noted a brief public statement calling the U.S. proposal fair and constructive.

Carter policy sparing European Communists in government
The Carter administration said it would not intervene to prevent Communist participation in Western European governments but would oppose domination by Communist parties. State Department officials stressed accidents of policy are for the people to decide, while noting risk to relations if parties alien to democratic principles take control. The shift mirrors prior stance under Ford, with emphasis on avoiding public admonitions yet preferring continued exclusion of Communists from cabinets when possible. Moscow reaction cited a Soviet weekly denying Kremlin rejection of U.S. proposals while warning that human rights shifts could affect U.S.–Soviet détente.
