SALT
Yesterday's SALT meeting proceeded at the de-
liberate, businesslike pace which has characterized
previous sessions of the second Helsinki round. So-
viet delegation chief Semenov continued to spell out
Moscow's position on a number of important points
which the US had addressed at Vienna.
Semenov explicitly endorsed the concept of an
ABM limitation to the National Command Authority
level; in his words, "deployment of ABM systems in
defense of Moscow and Washington only." This had
been foreshadowed by Semenov-'s acceptance "in prin-
ciple" of such a limitation last spring at Vienna.
His speech yesterday, however, marked the first time
that Moscow voiced acceptance of the concept of a
limitation on antiballistic missiles as well as on
launchers.
Proceeding to a much more fundamental and con-
tentious issue, however, Semenov stressed once again
Moscow's insistence that US forward-based nuclear
systems be included in any discussion of strategic
arms. He criticized US opposition to treatment of
this question, and charged that US unwillingness to
give it serious attention betrays "inequality" in
its approach to the basic matter of which strategic
systems must be considered. Semenov accused the US
of seeking "unilateral advantages."

COMMUNIST CHINA - USSR
Recent satellite photographyshows that, the So--
viets have deployed two new MIG fighter regiments
in the Central Asian Military, District: opposite -
China's Sinkiang Province. In the Far- East Military
District, an It-28 light bomber regimentwas observed
for the first time at KoMsomolsk.
These deployments contribute to the gradual'
Soviet buildup on the Chinese. border. The
IL-28 regiment could be the one transferred
to, the Far East from the Soviet tactical.
air force in East Germany. in. late September.
The IL-28 is considered obsolete against
NATO air defenses; but it would still be
useful in operations' against China.
