...European countries have tried constant daylight time without any sinister agricultural, theological or political results. No time, after all, is really "standard." Since Joshua, no one has discovered a way to stop the sun in its tracks. But daylight time does provide a reasonable method of delay, forestalling that Siberian depression; why not have it year round...

It includes an understanding that the U.S. and the Soviet Union will open their ports to each other's merchant ships, and it will give permission to the U.S. to establish business facilities in Moscow.

At the same time, the U.S. agrees to purchase between 1.5 billion and 2.5 billion cu. ft. of gas per day from eastern Siberian fields near Yakutsk.
