Kissinger gave a dinner for Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko in his Waldorf Towers suite and told him of congressional and public concern over Soviet treatment of dissident intellectuals. In a press conference before returning to Washington, Kissinger again criticized congressional attempts to link "most favored nation" status, which would give the Russians trade concessions, to Soviet emigration restrictions.

At the same time, a massive Soviet press campaign was mounted against the two towering spiritual leaders of Russia's "democratic movement," Physicist Andrei Sakharov and Novelist Alexander Solzhenitsyn. With an evident absence of spontaneity, hundreds of indignant letter writers spewed forth abuse against the two intellectuals in the pages of Pravda, Izvestia and other official newspapers. In part, the list of Sakharov's and Solzhenitsyn's accusers read like...
