Budapest makes the flat statement that the Western\nproposals were presented with the deliberate intention of being flatly rejected by the\nUSSR. On the other hand, Prague says that \"the whole atmosphere in which the talks are\ntaking place indicates that all the parties to these negotiations are trying hard to\nachieve at least a partial success.\nESTRICTEL"
