...Tuesday of this week. "If we miss (that date), both sides would be the worse," said Foreign Ministry Spokesman Gennadi Gerasimov. "We don't want that." But the two sides appeared to be unwilling to yield on critical points. "Obviously we desire a settlement as soon as possible," said Shultz, "if it can be settled on the right basis." For the U.S. that means no swap of Daniloff for the accused Soviet Spy Gennadi Zakharov. For the Soviets that means the U.S. must "reconsider" its order expelling 25 members of the Soviets' overgrown U.N. mission staff. In this, Shevardnadze said...
...Shultz nevertheless noted that he and Shevardnadze have a "good personal capacity" for constructive negotiation, and the two met twice in New York on Tuesday. In the office of the president of the U.N. Security Council, Shultz listened for 40 minutes to ideas on how the case could be resolved. That night the Secretary of State called at the Soviet mission to spell out his reply. Then, on Thursday night, Shultz slipped out of his U.N. Plaza Hotel suite for more talks at the U.S. mission. Both sides, Shultz said, were making a "genuine effort to get beyond" the Daniloff...
Reagan's veto was supported by some American allies but criticized by others. Like West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was sympathetic to the President's action because she too disapproves of sanctions.

Chester Crocker, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, met with Tambo two weeks ago in London. Other countries, in the meantime, were stepping up their support of sanctions...
...series of meetings between Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze at the U.N. in New York City uncovered the outlines of a potential bargain: Daniloff would be released quickly and probably without any trial on what the U.S. regards as trumped-up espionage charges against him. Zakharov would be traded later for one or more Soviet dissidents. The expulsion of the 25 Soviets at the U.N. remains a sticking point...
...Gorbachev annoyed the U.S. by unveiling a series of grandiose arms-control proposals that Washington judged to be largely propaganda maneuvers designed to put Reagan on the defensive; after the U.S. air strike against Libya, a Soviet client, Moscow called off a summit-planning visit by Shevardnadze to Shultz that had been scheduled for May. Each side kept grumbling that the behavior of the other raised grave doubts about how much it wanted either a summit or an agreement of any kind. The tone of the superpower exchanges began to change over the summer, as a variety of exchanges between...
