Baldrige also spent two days in talks with Soviet Foreign Trade Minister Nikolai Patolichev. Although the Commerce Secretary did not discuss Soviet purchases of strategic materials or technology, he agreed to ask Congress to lift a 34-year-old ban on certain Soviet fur imports. The Soviets agreed to ask their trade organizations not to discriminate against U.S. companies. Though the talks are not expected to bring about a major increase in U.S.-Soviet trade, which now amounts to some $3.85 billion a year, Baldrige called them "a solid start...

Commerce Secretary Peter G. Peterson, who signed the agreement with Soviet Trade Minister Nikolai S. Patolichev, said that the Russians are expected shortly to order $60 million worth of earth-moving equipment for excavation of their huge new Kama River truck factory. At week's end, as if to signify that such business deals were already becoming routine, the Soviets signed a $68 million order...
...loomed so large. This time the arena of conflict was half a world away in the Gulf of Tonkin, rather than 90 miles from the U.S. mainland, and this time, fortunately, there was no deadline ultimatum requiring immediate response. The feeling that the worst was past was reinforced by Patolichev's nonchalant response to a newsman's question: Was President Nixon's May 22 summit visit to Moscow still on? "We never had any doubts about it. I don't know why you asked." There were ritual denunciations of the U.S. from Moscow and Peking...
