...also put to full use. Under Vance, the State Department bureaucracy is far more a part of the action than it was under either Secretary of State William Rogers or Kissinger. Vance asks not only Warnke to sit in whenever he discusses arms control with Soviet Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin, but Leslie Gelb, who heads the department's Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs, is also deeply involved in SALT. No steps in Carter's troop-reduction plans for Korea are taken without consulting Richard Holbrooke, Assistant Secretary for East Asia and Pacific Affairs. The longtime career diplomats at State...
...before. Germany's Helmut Schmidt breakfasted secretly with Kissinger at a British resort in April. Britain's James Callaghan and France's Valery Giscard d'Estaing both invited him to dinner when they learned that Henry was coming to their respective countries. Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin asks him to lunch every few weeks in Washinngton. When Egypt's President Sadat came to the U.S. he asked to see Kissinger. A week ago, Israel's Menachem Begin called htm to come around to the Waldorf for a talk...

He says that "encouraging" communications on the subject are taking place between Moscow and Washington on a regular basis...
There were more specific indications that both sides had read the danger signals correctly and decided to shift their diplomacy into a lower key. At midweek Vance received Soviet Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin at the State Department for an unannounced and fruitful meeting. Later, Carter disclosed that he had received personal assurances from Brezhnev that the Soviet Union was as serious as the U.S. in its pursuit of a new agreement. Then, in a statement that was both conciliatory in tone and extraordinary in concept, Carter declared that if the Soviets gave him evidence that the U.S. proposals presented at Moscow...
