Vance asks not only Warnke to sit in whenever he discusses arms control with Soviet Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin, but Leslie Gelb, who heads the department's Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs, is also deeply involved in SALT. No steps in Carter's troop-reduction plans for Korea are taken without consulting Richard Holbrooke, Assistant Secretary for East Asia and Pacific Affairs.
