...limit on wage increases, a 6.5% overall ceiling on price rises. An expanded Council on Wage and Price Stability will closely monitor wage-price shifts; if a company exceeds the guidelines, it can be threatened with a suspension of Government contracts or purchases. But the President continues to insist that he will not resort to mandatory controls...
...present system for handling low-level radioactive wastes provides ample protection. They are cooled off by storage in on-site "swimming pools" for three years, then shipped to a reprocessing plant where their radiation is reduced even further, and finally they are pumped into deep wells. The scientists also insist that their country's method of disposing of highly radioactive wastes, which are also stored underground, is adequate. They figure that Americans worry too much about waste...
Soviet scientists insist that nuclear reactors are safer than other types of power plants and claim that many of the safety devices accepted as essential in the West are unnecessary. Their attitude can be unsettling to those who assume that even the best reactors must be treated with respect. At the Kurchatov, for example, scientists seemed blissfully unconcerned as visiting journalists leaned against flimsy railings to gaze down into an open experimental pool reactor and marvel at the blue radiation glow that emanated from its fuel rods. While the radiation itself was under water and posed no hazard, a dropped...

Then Egyptian President Anwar Sadat suggests a three-month freeze, which Begin accepts as a way to establish "a good atmosphere" for the upcoming Sinai negotiations. The Israelis, however, insist that the agreement refers only to civilian and not to military (nahal) settlements. During the final four-hour 25-minute discussion at Aspen Lodge, which was attended by Carter, Begin, Vance, Barak and Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan, Barak is the only notetaker...
