Soviet Union, U.S. close deal on overdue grain agreement
By United Press International
MOSCOW — The United States and the Soviet Union signed a five-year $10 billion grain agreement yesterday, ending what U.S. Agriculture Secretary John Block called a "distasteful exchange in trade between the superpowers."
Block, the first U.S. Cabinet member to visit Moscow since the death of Leonid Brezhnev, said the value of the contract could be even higher than the minimum $10 billion if the Soviet Union bought more than the annual minimum of 9 million metric tons required by the agreement.
"We welcome additional trade and we are prepared to meet the needs of the Soviet Union," Block said at a news conference.
Following the signing, Block met
with Politburo member Geydar Aliev. Block said the subject of a possible summit between Presidents Reagan and Andropov was discussed, but no new ground was broken.
The brief signing ceremony took place in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The agreement was the first major pact signed between the two countries since presidents Jimmy Carter and Brezhnev signed the SALT II treaty in Vienna in 1979.
Block defended the Reagan administration policy of selling grain to the Soviet Union while restricting technological trade.
"Selling grain is a commercial issue, grain that the Soviet Union can buy anyplace else, grain that we can produce every year in large volume," he said.
