Such difficulties were very much on Carter's mind as he left Washington accompanied by Wife Rosalynn and Daughter Amy, and such key aides as Secretary of State Edmund Muskie and National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski. With real unity on the many political disagreements seeming impossible, Carter set a limited goal for the talks...
Only two days earlier, one reporter noted, Secretary of State Edmund Muskie had taken a far softer line on Clark's joining a ten-member delegation of private U.S. citizens who took part in a Tehran conference on alleged U.S. intervention in Iran.

After more than a month in office, Secretary of State Edmund Muskie has yet to meet with Soviet Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin.

Each side has a long list of charges against the other...
