...limitation talks (SALT) between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Austrian Foreign Minister Kurt Waldheim got things rolling. At the main doorway of Vienna's sumptuous Belvedere Palace, he grasped the arms of the two chief negotiators, Gerard C. Smith of the U.S. and Russia's Vladimir Semyonov, and strode into the massive red and brown Marmorsaal (marble hall). As Waldheim noted in his welcoming speech, it was in the same hall, 15 years ago, that the U.S., Britain, France and the Soviet Union signed the Austrian State Treaty, ending ten years of military occupation and launching...

Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir Semyonov is engaged in the SALT negotiations, which after a successful five-week preliminary round in Helsinki will reopen in Vienna on April...
...secrecy and latent suspicion. To the dismay of the 220 foreign correspondents who had come to Helsinki for the opening of the most important disarmament talks in history, the U.S. delegation accepted a Soviet proposal that there should be a complete ban on news announcements and background briefings. As Semyonov explained to newsmen at the cocktail party: "This is a time to see and a time to hear, but it is also a time to be silent with the press...
