Secretary of Commerce Peter G. Peterson reported to the Business Council that intensive week long talks with the Soviet trade delegation in Washington covered joint ventures with American firms in food processing chemicals gas steel and other products plus Russian trade offices and machinery to aid future talks. He stressed talks were independent of politics and noted the decision to sign a formal pact rests with the President as discussions resume Monday with Nikolai S Patelichev the Soviet foreign trade minister in attendance.
