Description

Report on former US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger’s views on the East-West dialogue. Kissinger says he has already discussed his proposal for the appointment of American and Russian special representatives with senior members of the Reagan cabinet. His proposal involves both US President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Yuri Andropov dispatching special ambassadors to each other’s capitals to meet with top government figures. Kissinger says the President should choose someone more acceptable to right-wing Americans to present the USA than he would be. He believes a summit between US and Soviet leaders could be productive. Male reporter not identified (poss. Mark Mardell).
