...worried about his future role in arms talks. If past experience is any guide, the key SALT decisions will not be made by the Iwo negotiating learns but by top-ranking U.S. and Soviet officials, usually in Moscow or Washington, using the so-called back channel. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, however, has pledged that Warnke will conduct "real negotiations" on disarmament. Warnke's strength is the fact that he is so solidly plugged into the Washington power structure. He is now a senior partner in Clark Clifford's law office, and spent 18 years with the late...
United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young took off on a ten-day visit to black Africa.

Two weeks later, Secretary of State Cyrus Vance will visit the Middle East in hopes of setting in motion Arab-Israeli peace talks. He may also go to Moscow in March to meet with Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev...
...internal policies of other countries. They also marked the first effort by Washington to take the Eastern regimes to task for not living up to the Helsinki provisions. When he learned of the statement about Sakharov, Anatoli Dobrynin, the Soviet Ambassador to the U.S., telephoned Secretary of State Cyrus Vance to protest. That prompted a curious diplomatic minuet that left an impression of some disarray in the State Department...
