- 2 - Your Ambassador and Dr. Kissinger have continued to remain in close and frequent touch on all the important matters which either are already under active nego- tiation by representatives of our Governments or which we should address in the period ahead. I am carefully considering the points which Ambassador Dobrynin recently conveyed in your behalf on two of these, and I am prepared to have Dr. Kissinger pursue them with your Ambassador in a constructive spirit as soon as he returns next month. By that time, we will also be approaching the resumption of the strategic arms limitations talks and it will be important, in my view, for us to establish more fully the elements of a permanent agreement limiting offensive strategic arms in our confidential channel. I would hope also that the preparations now in progress in Vienna for negotiations on reductions in military forces in Central Europe will have been successfully completed so that we may exchange some views on the substance of that problem. Finally, we will do our part to promote a constructive outcome of the European Security Conference. I look forward to further fruitful exchanges with you and to progress in all these fields in the period before your visit to this country. Sincerely, Richel Mat His Excellency Leonid I. Brezhnev General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union The Kremlin Moscow
