Special Arms Talks Round Starts
U.S. and Soviet delegations opened a special round of arms talks today with eight hours of discussions in a secluded mansion near Moscow. Paul H. Nitze, chief U.S. delegate and President Reagan’s arms control adviser, characterized today’s exploratory talks as “serious.”
The Kremlin’s chief negotiator, Viktor Karpov, said just before the talks began that the Soviets “would do anything” for a new summit, and he complained that the United States does not seem interested in arms control. The special talks are scheduled to run two days.
