Soviets press for quick talks on short-range missiles
Vadim Zagladin, a top Soviet official, said in a Moscow radio interview that the Soviet Union seeks immediate talks with Washington on dismantling short-range tactical missiles. He described a desire shared by many Europeans, including West Germany, to eliminate these weapons and to start negotiations in the coming weeks. He stressed the issue is not linked to talks on intermediate-range missiles or the strategic defense initiative and noted a separate agreement principle may be pursued.
