...Geneva, American and Soviet arms negotiators brought forth draft proposals for eliminating the medium-range missiles and agreed to continue talks on those weapons, which were due to adjourn last week. Then Soviet negotiators returned to Moscow for consultations, and Max Kampelman, the chief American negotiator, flew off to Brussels to brief NATO allies before continuing on to Washington to confer with President Reagan.

Said Chief of Staff Regan: "Right now, Max Kampelman is saying (to the Soviets), 'Our notes from Reykjavik show that we could agree on this. How do we get there?' " Secretary of State Shultz presumably will ask the same kind of questions of his frequent negotiating partner, Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze, when they meet again in Vienna...
