U.S., Soviets talk limits
HOUSTON (AP) — Secretary
of State James A. Baker 111 took
the Soviet foreign minister to
his hometown Sunday and pre
dicted they would make pro
gress on a wide range of issues,
including the search for a treaty
to cut long-range nuclear weap
ons.
While the crisis in the Per
sian Gulf demands their atten
tion. Baker and Soviet Foreign
Minister Eduard A. Shevard
nadze hope to clear roadblocks
to a Strategic Arms Reduction
Treaty.
"I have no doubt that our
talks here in Houston will lx;
productive and that we will
continue to tackle some diffi
cult issues in a constructive
spirit,” Baker said
He and Shevardnadze plan
two days of talks on the treaty,
the gulf situation and other
U.S.-Soviet issues. They also
intend to visit the Johnson
Space Center and talk to the
Columbia astronauts aboard the
Shuttle through a special tide
phone hookup.
But if the mission is cut short
because of poor weather or
trouble with disposing of liquid
waste, that colorful interlude
may have to be scratched.
Baker, in an arrival statement
at Fllington air field, praised
the Soviets for cooperating
with the United States in trying
to force Iraq to withdraw from
Kuwait.
"On no issue has U.S.-Soviet
cooperation been more neces
sary than on resolving the crisis
caused by Iraq's brutal aggres
sion." Baker said.
A few hours before Baker and
Shevardnadze arrived on sepa
rate planes, a group of hostages
were brought home by former
Texas Gov. John Connally.
“They never should have
been taken hostage in tin* first
place." Baker said. "So while
we are heartened by their re
turn, we will not rest until all
hostages from all nations are
safely home."
