Nations’ talks start frosty
Schultz, Gromyko meet with cool cordiality
UNITED NATIONS (AP) -
Secretary of State George
Shultz and Soviet Foreign Min
ister Andrei Gromyko met on
Tuesday to discuss relations
between their two countries, but
U S officials predicted little
progress toward easing ten
sions
They started their meeting at
3:30 p m. in the office of the U S.
ambassador to the United
Nations, Jeane Kirkpatrick
Meither Gromyko nor Schultz
smiled for photographers as
they exhanged small talk during
a brief photo session before
entering the office
Meetings between the U S
secretary of state and Soviet
foreign minister have become
an annual event during the
opening session of the U N
General Assembly
Shultz had met earlier with
British Foreign Secretary
Francis Pym. They discussed
possible compromises on the
divisive U S -imposed Soviet
pipeline sanctions, but they are
still far apart on the issue, a U S
spokesman said
"Both underscored the need
to develop a well-defined policy
on East-West economic rela
tions," said State Department
spokesman John Hughes,
adding they had not agreed how
that would be done
Before the Shultz-Gromyko
talks began, officials said the
two men probably would dis
cuss a U.S.-Soviet summit con
ference, but make no decision
on holding one
"I don’t know that there is a
groundswell of opinion for it,"
Hughes said
Hughes said the two might
meet again if they "think it is
worthwhile " A second meeting
would be at the Soviet mission
Shultz is holding a series of
meetings with foreign ministers
of other nations in connection
with the 37th session of the U N
General Assembly
The Soviets have indicated on
four recent occasions their in
terest in a possible summit con
ference between Soviet Pres
ident Leonid Brezhnev and
Pres Ronald Reagan
A senior State Department
official told reporters in
Washington last week that it
was certain to be raised in the
Shultz-Gromyko meeting "It's a
subject they will discuss," said
the official, who did not want to
be identified
Shultz and Pym had a two
hour breakfast in Shultz' suite at
the U N Plaza Hotel Hughes
said they talked about the
pipeline issue "within the
framework of broad East-West
relations "
The subject has been so divi
sive in U.S.-West European
relations that it wasn't dis
cussed in any detail in Shultz
earlier meetings with officials of
West Germany and France
Hughes said it had been decid
ed nothing would be gained by
talking about it
But Pym is at the forefront of
those trying to find a com
promise Britain, West
Germany, France and Italy have
objected to the Reagan admin
istration's decision to penalize
European companies that
participate in construction of a
Soviet natural gas pipeline to
Europe using U S -licensed
equipment and technology
Senators fight for wilderness
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two of the Northwest's
U S senators are gearing for battle over legisla
tion to limit oil, gas and geothermal leasing in
wilderness areas
Sen. James McClure, R-ldaho and chairman of
the Senate Energy Committee, opposes a bill that
would ban leasing in more than 40 million acres of
existing or proposed wilderness areas
The bill is sponsored by Sen Henry Jackson,
D-Wash , who preceeded McClure as committee
chairman Environmentalists have made the issue
their top priority in the current Congress
A showdown between the two senators could
take place over the issue as Congress moves
toward a pre-election recess early next month
Jackson said he will try to bring up the bill this
week, but indicated he does not expect full
Senate passage before the elections.
Jackson's anti-leasing bill is co-sponsored by
53 members of the Senate A similar bill already
has passed the House
Interior Secretary James Watt announced last
year that he would consider allowing oil and gas
leases in wilderness areas, an option his
predecessors chose not to exercise That trig
gered an outcry from members of Congress and
the public, and Watt agreed to a temporary
moratorium on leasing in designated wilderness
areas through the end of this year
But environmentalists were still worried be
cause millions of acres recommended for wilder
ness or under further study were not covered by
Watt s moratorium They also feared what could
happen to the 25 million acres of existing wilder
ness after Watt's moratorium expires.

Hinckley requests gun
to shoot Jodie Foster
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presidential assailant John Hinckley
recently wrote a letter asking a woman to help him get a pistol
so he could kill actress Jodie Foster, an FBI source said
Tuesday night
The source, who asked not to be identified, said the letter to
an unidentified woman in the Midwest was intercepted by
psychiatrists at St. Elizabeths, the District of Columbia mental
hospital where Hinckley is confined.
The letter, which mentioned a 38-caliber pistol, was turned
over to Roger Adelman, the U S attorney for the District of
Columbia, according to the source. There was no answer
when a reporter telephoned Adelman s home Tuesday night.
The source said the intended recipient of the letter was one
of several women who have sent sympathetic letters to
Hinckley, who has carried on a one-sided romance with
Foster
Hinckley was ordered confined indefinitely to St. Elizabeths
after a federal jury last June found him innocent by reason of
insanity in the March 1981 shootings of Pres. Ronald Reagan
and three other men.
