It is hard to detect any serious proposals on the part of the U.S. Administration to get down to resolving the cardinal problem of eliminating the nuclear threat." Gorbachev went on to hint that fixing a date for his next summit meeting with Reagan would depend on progress at the U.S.-Soviet nuclear arms talks in Geneva.
