Trade curbs on Soviet oil gear under Carter drive
The Commerce Department, following White House orders, restricts sale of oil and gas exploration equipment to the Soviet Union. White House officials say the measure is a foreign policy tool, not direct punishment tied to dissident trials, while Soviet deputy foreign minister Kovalev warns trade limits could affect relations. Licenses, not bans, now required for such exports, a step beyond current controls for Cuba and other nations.
