Speakes said, "We are considering some steps involving U.S.-Soviet relations, but we are not sure they be specific, but there could be a number of diplomatic-related steps we could take."
Officials have said arms control talks in Geneva, Switzerland, will be unaffected and President Reagan has said the incident leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, the new Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev.
"We're not trying to hype this case, to make it into something it's not," said one of two officials who briefed reporters at the State Department. "But it is a serious event. An American military officer has been killed for no reason."
A PENTAGON OFFICIAL told reporters that the administration would like to hold "military-to-military" talks with the Soviets to help ensure such a shooting does not happen again.
The officials called Nicholson, 37, a Russian linguist from West Reading, Conn., and his
driver, Sgt. Jessie Schatz, were not in an area designated by the Soviets as off-limits at the time of the incident, which occurred near Ludwigslust, East Germany, 100 miles northwest of Berlin.

THE OFFICIALS SAID such surveillance was a recognized function of both the U.S. military liaison mission at Potsdam, East Germany, to which Nicholson and Schatz were attached, and the corresponding Soviet mission in West Germany. Nicholson is the first American killed in the line of duty at the U.S. mission.

He said the administration knew the structural conditions of the care unit were bad but wasn't aware of some of the other problems.
"It's true that some of the things weren't brought to our attention, but I'm not sure the committee thought it was important," he said.
HE SAID HE didn't know the care unit was cleaning cages only five days a week or that Department of Agriculture standards were so strict. However, the cleaning chores have been extended to seven days a week and some double shifts have been assigned, he said.
"The committee didn't want to spend their research money for the level of animal care needed today." Mulder said.
FREKNEL SAID, "I can't think of any which we have bent to benefit our research."
