measures will be taken AD Taken care of I think it is a very nice proposal HK And I thought thatSmirnov wouldn't AD _ Although he has a strong heart but still he's a very good man BK The only think I am proposing is this In wo rking out more complete roeasuxes on the limitation of strategic offensive arms the two sides agree to take account of aLL types of such arms and then we would say and to establish equitable liInitations on intex continental ballistic missle launchers submarine launchers and They agree that neither side will circumvent a pennanent agreement through systems not limited AD They agree Oh yes I see but you are leaving this principle of the _ _ _ _ _ advantage--you are missing HK Yes That's what I thought you had proposed yesterday AD No I said aGBPl er the such arms I will put in here your phrase about the ___text and then could you state the following phrase Plus your last phrase HK Oh that I didn't understand AD My idea was to take ours and after such anns and use youx proposal about this equit a ble limitation of this one-- HK All right and then what would you say AD Just a continuation of the ph ttase HK Well then and--I don't want to say including--I want to say and to establish AD I notice it but Of such arms including--- Page 5 HK But it is bette r than AD M -ybe 3 let me put it this way -just thinking alloud -- who discuss --all types of such etc etc and then we'll add your phrase so to speak HK You see we don't like the phrase the principle of equal security AD Well neither do I why don't you like it -it was just taken from the text HK Well I like what was in the principles better AD Principles but we communique HK Is the communique more inlportant thail a statement of principle AD Communique was the first spe cHic it is not a que sHon of who is important this is more important but that specifies our joint attitude to the ag greement on the limitations but the principles are trying to cover many aspects of the last -- HK Do you know today is the anniversary of our agreeing to the SALT Agreement AD Yes I know You are a 1 - exception because usually Arnericans do not remember for a long time in their foreig policy but you do HK Now Anatol AD laughing HK Now where are we AD So what we are going to do with Article 4 because this what you say really you just add something much more difficult to accept HK Hold on a seoond let me get your thing AD Why not put it this way take our text and so on After such arms yes HK Yeh AD to put in brackets including the establishment which you p ropose l e what is in the I should say the of your You have it--in working out Page 6 HK No AD But why H K Because that makes it look as if then they'll ask what other arms are you talking about AD no it is the phrase including that I don't like Such arms--some other--all J there are many other things as you know Because as you try fo --you'll think only three nothing else T his is what they are discussing for Xh two months now HK So what do you want you want only-Myou don It want me to have my ideas in there AD No on the contrary ooooo arms including the establishment with equitable limitation s Your phrase so it will be your phrase You can put in brackets including the establislunent of equitable lim itations then it will be clear Up to nowyou didn't want to have any specific cases specifically here I think we can be very specific It would be a little more balanced half of ours half of yours HK Well will you read m what you ar e proposing Because you are breaking my heart right now AD On the contrary I try to yield to you because-- HK Yeh but if you eep me on the phone much longer I won't be able to get up there AD Okay so in working out a more complete method on the limitation of the arms accounts will be taken of all such arms and then in brackets in you like including the establishment of equitable limitations of international ballistic missiles submarine launchers ballistic missiles and then comma and then I would like to have our text include the last phrase from your text of point 8--1 think we could do it this way--I'm not sure about it but we could try it HK Okay AD Okay HK No no I'm not agreeing to it I'm just understanding it Let me consider it I may call you back if not weIll have to leave it till Monda1 AD But 1 have to wait -- you don't know whether you will call HK Wait for 10 or 15 minutes
