...almost total secrecy, President Nixon made contact with "highest-level" Soviet officials last January, among them Premier Aleksei Kosygin. The talks continued until last week, when Nixon-and the Soviets-finally broke silence. Appearing briefly on TV, the President announced a "significant development" in ending the deadlock in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks. After 18 months of probing, the U.S. and Russia had reached an agreement on how to proceed toward limiting nuclear weapons. It was, perhaps, the end of the beginning...
...Administration. He made a speech calling for serious discussion of mutual reduction of forces in Europe. Then he hit the point even harder when Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau went to Moscow last week to sign a pact of mutual cooperation with the Soviets. Both Brezhnev and Kosygin suggested to Trudeau that they wanted to pare their swollen defense budget and put the money into sorely needed housing. Thus they helped kill whatever chance the Mansfield amendment may once have had. It was handily defeated in the Senate, 61 to 36, and compromise amendments were voted down as well...
...optimistic plan, the White House hopes to reach an agreement by the end of this year that will definitely put some limit on ABMs and SS-9s. After that, who can say? Maybe a triumphant pre-election trip to Moscow to sign a historic disarmament treaty with Brezhnev and Kosygin...
...elegance and sophistication, Sadat often uses peasant imagery. Recently he compared the actions of Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin during Nasser's funeral to the behavior of the people of his native village.

So the Soviet Union came with their tray to the funeral of Gamal." The Russian tray, however, was scarcely filled with food. After post-funeral discussions with Sadat, the Russians accelerated their shipments of military supplies to Egypt...
...SALT TALKS. After a conversation with Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin, Muskie said on a television show that he had told the Russian leader that he and his colleagues in Congress were trying to cut back U.S. arms spending -and that many Americans do not share President Nixon's views on dealing with the Soviet Union. Undercutting the SALT talks and undermining U.S. foreign policy? No, said Muskie, he was simply talking as a ''private citizen." The ploy is familiar: Richard Nixon used it when he hobnobbed with world leaders on a 1967 swing, ostensibly as a lawyer...
