President Reagan stated the Soviet walkout at Geneva does not threaten nuclear conflict and the United States stands ready to resume negotiations with the Kremlin at any time. He expressed disappointment but not surprise, and said deterrence remains, so there is no danger of nuclear war while US forces maintain strength. Talks on European missiles and START remain unsettled. Deputy White House press secretary Speakes noted willingness to restart negotiations and resume at once.
