Nonetheless, Soviet officials last week charged that the U.S. proposal amounted to setting "preliminary conditions" on the space talks. They declared that this was "totally unsatisfactory," and that it amounted to a "negative reply" to the Soviet proposal. But over breakfast with Soviet Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin in Washington, Secretary of State George Shultz stressed that the U.S. had taken a "positive approach" to the Vienna talks. At a White House barbecue for foreign diplomats, Reagan and Shultz met Dobrynin and held an animated discussion with him. "We'll be there if you'll be there," Reagan told Dobrynin...

The Soviets, enraged, accused the U.S. of plotting with the Sakharovs. Shultz's efforts to open some kind of dialogue with Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin, who has been considered the Soviet who best understood American ways, have been fruitless...
Only on the smallest issues is progress being made. Shultz met with Soviet Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin in Washington last week, and U.S. Ambassador Arthur Hartman met with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko in Moscow, to discuss possible new consulates in New York City and Kiev and the revival of cultural and scientific exchanges. Plans to open the consulates had been postponed and the exchanges halted in 1980 after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
