D: I will pass this along to Moscow. I will be there myself on Monday. No,
I cannot check it tomorrow because it is Saturday and no one will be there.
You know it is the first week of the Congress to begin. For me it will be
difficult to force members of the government to look at this. I will try to
do my best and get an answer for you. I am meeting on Tuesday with Gromyko.
Even he is involved with the Congress and lots of guests. You can understand
the difficulty that this problem exists.
K: Yes. We are prepared to give instructions to start discussions on
ABM - the nature of agreement and how many radars, etc but we must
simultaneously discuss the freeze issue.
D: What to discuss. Yes. Freezing I am just putting some thoughts down
What kind of freezing. I will send a telegram to my government.
K: Let me ask you as long as we have this conversation. Next part of it.
Not many people know about this in our government and we must think of
how to get them started. It can be done in two ways. By an exchange of
letters. The other is that the President at a press conference could respond
to a question along the lines of Do you still believe in the link
between
offensive and defensive weapons? Then he says something like I am
willing to make an agreement as long as freezing is in it. You could say
through TASS that is a good idea.
D: I don't know. Yes I know you are giving an example.
K: This way we could get it into a formal channel.
D: Agreement on basis which you propose.
It
was
our
thinking
I
gave
you
on
discussion after an agreement except for freezing. Do you have my
note to you?
K: The one you gave me this afternoon. Yes. I have it.
D:
details that the summit (?) will discuss simultaneously with the
conclusion of the agreement.
K: With the conclusion - no that is a little late for the discussion. With
the beginning of the drafting of the agreement.
[that we discuss freeze]
D: It is very difficult to put in drafting, from very beginning.
K: Will be discussed prior to ABM agreement?
D: Discussion of the details will be discussed simultaneously with the
conclusion of the agreement.
