...Administration that seemed to reflect all the grievances of the Kremlin over the past three years. Korniyenko lambasted Washington's trade sanctions and its policy toward Eastern Europe, but reserved most of his fire for the U.S. failure to ratify SALT II. He assailed Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger by name, saying that "Weinberger continues cursing the SALT II treaty, and he hasn't even read it. He seems to be saying, 'My mind is made up, don't confuse me with the facts.' " At the end of the tirade, Korniyenko did urge talks between...

Gemayel later described his meeting with Reagan as "excellent...
...military technology. We should reduce the profile of our military partnership with them. There is no point in having American Secretaries of Defense running over there all the time, putting on their hard hats and huffing and puffing. [Former Secretary of Defense Harold Brown visited China in 1980, and Caspar Weinberger wants to go.] For one thing, that kind of display doesn't scare the Russians; it just makes them more conspiratorial. The Russians know the Chinese are light-years behind them militarily, and the U.S. couldn't do much to change that even if it wanted...
