Description

Secretary of State George Shultz had just returned from Moscow with a highly

controversial agreement to eliminate intermediate-range nuclear forces (our Pershing and cruise missiles, the Soviets' SS-20s) from Europe. This hour is sometimes uncomfortably technical for the non-specialist, but if we can keep up we learn a great deal. WH: "We have to recognize that the Soviets have done something here that is unusual. They've agreed to dismantle a major part of their forces -- the SS-20 -- which proves the case, I think, that the Pershings and the cruise missiles that we were putting in ... matter to them. They're prepared to pay a price." ... SW: "It's been Soviet policy to sow seeds of dissension within the alliance and particularly between the United States and Western Europe from the inception of NATO. This is just made to order to do that."
