Reagan and Gorbachev clash over space weapons and SDI fears
President Reagan accuses the Soviets of studying a space backed breakout from the ABM treaty and urges reciprocal restraint on SDI. Gorbachev calls space activities a dangerous game while stressing Russia’s view on nuclear arms reductions amid cautious White House expectations for a breakthrough at the summit.
