Documents

February 4, 1977	Letter, Secretary Brezhnev to President Carter
March 28, 1977	Talks Between A.A.Gromyko and Cyrus Vance The main topic of discussion was US President Jimmy Carter's "comprehensive" proposals for the SALT-2 Treaty, views that the Soviets saw as contravening the Vladivostok accords reached with US President Gerald Ford in 1974.
