Description

Victor Karpov, Soviet arms negotiator, says that a solution to the problem of mid-range missiles in Europe can be found separately to that of the SDI space weapons. He also says that the original offer of a ten-year delay for SDI deployment is still open and that he has not lost hope of disarmament.
