Only on the smallest issues is progress being made. Shultz met with Soviet Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin in Washington last week, and U.S. Ambassador Arthur Hartman met with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko in Moscow, to discuss possible new consulates in New York City and Kiev and the revival of cultural and scientific exchanges.
