...Talbott and Christopher Ogden to talk about himself and the Carter Administration's foreign policy. The two-hour interview in the antiques-filled James Madison Room atop the State Department Building ended when Vance had to rush off for a final pre-Moscow meeting with Soviet Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin. Excerpts...
...meeting with Shevchenko, who was in hiding somewhere in New York State. The defecting diplomat's lawyer, Ernest Gross, a U.S. Assistant Secretary of State under Truman, arranged a meeting in his Manhattan law office. In a dramatic, hour-long confrontation with Soviet Ambassador to Washington Anatoli Dobrynin and Ambassador to the U.N. Oleg Troyanovsky, Shevchenko insisted that he would not return to his native land on an official visit, as Moscow had demanded. Following that meeting, the Soviets registered their first public reaction to the defection by claiming that Shevchenko was being held in the U.S. "under duress...

The U.S. particularly wanted to know more precisely the enrichment of the uranium...
...another meeting with Dobrynin, on Jan. 17, and in two phone calls, Brzezinski kept pushing for more detail. Could the uranium on board reach critical mass and explode either on re-entry or on impact with the earth? It could not, Dobrynin insisted. Brzezinski signed a National Security Council directive alerting the CIA, NASA and the Defense and State departments to the probable re-entry of Cosmos 954. Special U.S. Air Force teams trained in radiation detection and decontamination techniques were alerted to fly to any impact site...
