Senate votes on continuation of detente with Soviet Union
The Senate plans to approve a resolution backing continued US Soviet detente while reaffirming nonrecognition of the Baltic states' occupation. Two more James B. Allen amendments target Cuban troop removal from Africa and parity in nuclear weapons talks, with a push to advance Vladivostok accords reductions. The measure, by Alan Cranston and others, argues for careful regulation of US Soviet relations to avoid war and preserve national strength.
