...effort to resolve the remaining differences as quickly as possible, Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and Soviet Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin met twice in Washington last week. Their urgency was a shared one; the responses to Washington from Moscow had rarely come faster. Vance and Dobrynin were expected to settle the last issue this week. It was a minor loophole in the proposed freeze on the number of warheads permitted on each missile. Vance and Dobrynin then were expected to plunge immediately into negotiating the time and place for the Carter-Brezhnev summit-probably in June at a neutral capital...
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and White House National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski have frequently offered differing views of U.S. foreign policy.

Said he at a press conference: "After many mistakes, I have promised the public that I would not predict...
...State Department flatly refused to deny the charges, and Secretary of State Cyrus Vance said that "no apology" would be issued, as the South African Prime Minister had demanded. The following day, Willem Retief, South Africa's Charge d'Affaires, was summoned to the State Department and told that two of his mission's military attaches were being ordered to leave the U.S. within a week, in direct retaliation for the expulsion of three American defense attaches...
