REFERENCE: Helsinki 0272
Unfolding of our 2--for-2 ABM position as you propose sometime
next week is the right course. However, I would want to check this
with the President before giving final approval. Perhaps you could
continue to probe Semyonov's interest in SLBMs until next Wednesday
or Thursday and check with me before giving him a detailed proposal.
If Semyonov presents SLBM position of interest to us before then,
you should notify me immediately and I will obtain a prompt decision
on how to proceed. In any case, it is our intention to have you move
ahead on ABM/SLBM package no later than next weekend.
