Russia Cool To U.S. Proposals
Secretary of State Vance and Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko resumed nuclear arms talks in Moscow with a cool reception to Washington’s proposal for deep cuts. The talks follow the Vladivostok accords and center on limiting long range bombers and missiles to 2,400 each, with debate over including American missiles and a moving target for future reductions. Vance described Monday’s session as businesslike, and Tass quoted Gromyko urging adherence to the Vladivostok framework.
