Vance tells latest on talks
WASHINGTON (AP) -Secretary of State
Cynthia Moore President Carter and
Senator Robert Barris convene a
hastily scheduled meeting last night on the
status of U.S.-Russian negotiations on Russian
loyalties.
Vance met alone with Carter for 30 minutes and then briefed the president and other NSC members for an on his talks for the Foreign Minister Andrea A. Grymkoy.
The group adjourned to meet again today at 7 a.m.
"We would not characterize this as a crisis. It was a discussion," press secretary Jody Powell told reporters after the meeting had broken up.
ADMINISTRATION officials, who requested anonymity, said the NSC meeting had curriedily because Vance has a schedule of Washington meetings today.
Besides the president and Vice President Mattler Dodge, those summoned to the Warwick Judicial Committee include Secretary Harold Brown, CIA Director Stanislaw Kopacz, and National Security Analyst Zachary Brzezinski.
The mood seemed gloomy on both sides as Vance and Gromyko ended their latest session. No further talks were planned.
AN ADMINISTRATION source indicated, however, that Vance might meet again with Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin on the troops issue.
State Department spokesman Hadding Carter said that he would not rule out some unspecified U.S. effort to keep the negotiations going.
U. S. sources said prior to the last Vance-Gromko meeting that its outcome would weigh heavily on whether Carter personally agreed with the plans, but said a weekend meeting between Gromko
and Carter was possible if the stalemate eased.
BUT GROMYKO said he planned to return to Moscow today, apparently precluding a meeting with Carter.
Vance has met on six occusions over the last three weeks with either Gromyko or Dobryvin.
The talks with Gromyko, held in Vance's 37th floor suite hotel overlooking the United Nations, were the first that went beyond the troon disce. a Carter spokesman said.
In the talks, Vance has tried to impress on the Soviets the Carter administration's judgement that without a prompt settlement of the troops dispute, there is little prospect that the Senate will ratify the new strategic limitation treaty by the end of the year.
From 2,000 to 3,000 Russian combat troops are said to be in Cuba. The Russians say the troops are a training unit that has been in the Carabbean country for 17 years.
