Jimmy Carter's popularity seems to be rising not only at home but also in the Kremlin. Soviet leaders still feel that the President is unpredictable and is overly influenced by National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, whom they regard as anti-Soviet. The Russians nonetheless seem to believe that Carter has become more skilled in handling U.S.-Soviet relations. What most pleases the Kremlin, apparently, is the White House's growing preference for quiet, traditional diplomacy in contrast to the public criticisms that were often made during the Administration's early months...
...Department officials dispute Goldwater's claim that two-thirds of the Senate must approve cancellation of the treaty, but they say they have every intention of consulting with Congress before they make any major steps on China.

Carter seems to be leaning in some respects toward the Kreps side: he has now decreed that the U.S. should sell products to an unsavory customer if the customer could buy them somewhere else...
