Vance Warns Gromyko Threatens SALT Basis Change
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance warned in flight from London to Paris that Andrei Gromyko threatened to alter SALT by raising U S forward bases in Europe and the Mediterranean. He said such a move would reverse past positions and could undo Vladivostok concessions on forward-based systems. Vance acknowledged U S disarmament proposals give a slight edge in warhead count but favor Moscow in throw weight. He noted U S stance on the Backfire bomber and said the plan would freeze qualitative improvements. In Paris, Vance reported to the French government on abortive Moscow talks and reiterated U S support for Britain's Rhodesia peace efforts.
