...emergency meeting began at 8:20. With Brzezinski around the long oval table were, among others: Vice President Walter Mondale, Pentagon Chief Harold Brown, CIA Director Stansfield Turner, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman David Jones and Presidential Senior Adviser Hedley Donovan. They were joined, some 70 min. later, by Carter and Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, who had been conferring in the President's family quarters. At 10:30 the meeting broke up.

The pictures, which are recorded in black and white, color or infrared, may be transmitted almost instantaneously to ground stations in the U.S. The satellite is also equipped with electronic listening devices that can pick up military and government radio messages and store them on endless miles of tape...
...signed SALT I in Moscow in 1972, for advice on how to deal with Brezhnev. Gerald Ford came by the White House to suggest that if Brezhnev became blustery, as he did at Vladivostok in 1974, Carter should respond politely but firmly and not retreat an inch. CIA Director Stansfield Turner showed Carter some video tapes of Nixon's and Ford's meetings with Brezhnev so that the President could observe the Soviet leader's mannerisms...
