It asked Moscow whether it would be interested in talks between West and East Germany about reducing tensions "in and around Berlin and between the two parts of Germany." The proposal was in reply to Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko's recent statement that Russia would welcome talks about "normalizing" the status of Berlin. The British, French and the Americans made the offer primarily to put the ball back in the Soviets' court, while not endangering the 24-year-old Allied occupation rights in West Berlin, which lies...
