Soviet leadership shift eyed as Brezhnev era nears end
Carter aide Shulman testifies before a House subcommittee that the Soviet Union faces a wholesale generational turnover with leaders in their 40s to 80s. He urges prompt steps to improve economic relations, including tariffs and credits, while noting emigration disputes limit trade. He notes Kirilenko could succeed Brezhnev if he dies.
