NATO invites Russians to join talks on disarmament
In Copenhagen NATO foreign ministers issued a new invitation to the Soviet Union to participate in technical disarmament talks rather than endless summit talk. The 15 NATO members noted past Soviet refusals and said they would pursue their own studies of easing the arms race while continuing pressure for progress at all diplomatic levels. The conference reinforced U S hopes that careful expert negotiations can ease East West tensions more than high profile government meetings. Summit talks are seen as valuable only if they advance the goal.
