Telcon
Ambassador Dobrynin/General Scowcroft
March 21, 1973; 8:50 a.m.
D:
How are you today, in this first day of spring? (laughs)
S:
A beautiful first day of spring.
D:
I think we 11 have to blame to our people of science who yesterday
were received by the President and he praised them and what they are doing.
They could have given us a good sunny day on the first day of spring.
S:
That's right. This is Moscow weather.
D:
Well, it's even worse I should say. Nobody expects spring in
Moscow now, but here it's a psychological shock. It's rather dangerous.
S:
That's right.
D:
Well, General, I have to go now to New York. I have some business.
But I received yesterday from my Government, from Mr. Breshnev, the
text of * our draft of agreement between the two countries on the prevention
of nuclear war.
S:
Oh, yes.
D:
Well, we put it your draft, but we make some additions in this, so
what I am doing is just
translation.
S:
Fine.
D:
And then Mr. Vorontsov will be in touch with you. He will just
arrive to your office
with when it is convenient. And there are some
comments here, oral comments. Well probably it is better to do for
you /
.
He will just tell you or make it informal talking point
how you think?
for your information.
S:
That would be all right.
D:
Yes, it's all right?
S:
Yes, surely.
D:
So, you prefer to have it on a paper, or you will write it down?
S:
Either way.
D:
Okay. He will cover it in any case. He may be
- delegate
secretary, and so on. What time you would like, and Mr. Brezhnev, and
