...REDUCTIONS. On a mission to Moscow, Italian Foreign Minister Aldo Moro formally advised the Soviet government that NATO wants to begin talks with the Warsaw Pact about force reductions in Europe. Perhaps as an indication of Soviet interest, Moro was received both by Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and Premier Aleksei Kosygin. But then it was only logical for them to hear out the NATO emissary, since it was Soviet Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev who last May invited the Atlantic Alliance to taste the wine of Russian intentions about troop cuts...

They agreed to start negotiations over their border dispute...

Recently he compared the actions of Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin during Nasser's funeral to the behavior of the people of his native village. "We are farmers," he said, "and when one of us goes to express condolences, he takes along a tray of food for the house of the deceased out of courtesy. So the Soviet Union came with their tray to the funeral of Gamal." The Russian tray, however, was scarcely filled with food. After post-funeral discussions with Sadat, the Russians accelerated their shipments of military supplies to Egypt...
