U.S.-Soviet relations are not dangerous, a
Harvard University expert on the Soviet
Union said Thursday at the USC Law
Center.
Philip Clendenning of Harvard's Russian
Research Center made the comment at
"U.S.-U.S.S.R. Relations Today," a lecture
presented by the USC International Law
Society.
Saying Russia fears invasion from the
West and values Western European neutrality
and trade movements, the guest presented
outlined points that support peaceful national
relations. Clendenning said the United
Sfafpt an H t hp Qnuiatc ?
ijv/ ivio onan, muiuiuii interests
in Mutual Assured Destruction and
trade.
THE LECTURE began with a brief
history of the fall of White Russia and
developed through the Andropov administration.
Clendenning referred to several
events that have long-term effects on contemporary
national relations.
Specific attention was given to Soviet
diplomacy in the 1930s. Relations with the
United States during this period were calm
and remained so throughout World War II.
The first sign of aggression was America's
disapproval of Soviet intervention in Eastern
Europe, Clendenning said.
He emphasized the hostility that developed
in the 1940s and continued through the 1970s
with the rise of McCarthyism. Clenenning
said McCarthy implanted a prejudice in
America that the Soviet Union should be
regarded as an enemy of humanity.
Bringing the audience up to date, Clendenning
noted the growing aggression between
the Soviet and the United States over arms
talks. Several references were made to the

Carter-Brzezinski ideology. Clendenning
said the pair created tension between the
super powers with their loud cries for Soviet
human rights.
SPEAKING IN terms of disarmament,
Clendenning said U.S.-Soviet relations have
reached a low point.
This situation could be dangerous, he said,
since irrational government behavior could
result in unjustified measures, and because
the interactions of the governments lack expertise
in decision-making.
Clendenning said the relations could be
stirred by political unrest in other countries,
and that Lebanon and the rest of the Middle
East cannot remain isolated. He said the
Soviets will come to the region forcing the
United States to develop a political balance
in the area.
Another topic discussed was the overemphasis
by American media of the opinions of
Soviet dissidents. Because the dissidents
could not possibly represent the entire Soviet
population, it is unjustifiable to "read their
views into the entire spectrum," Clendenning
said.
Answering a question concerning President
Ronald Reagan's reaction to the Korean
airliner incident, Clendenning said the administration's
actions are those of "controlled
outrage." He said the United States M
60-day boycott was "not a limited punishment."
The boycott lasted two weeks.
CLENDENNING SAID U.S. tracking E5
units and technology know precisely what is
happening around the world at any second.
Presenting a two-page advertisement from MMMj
the Wall Street Journal promoting the state j-.'vX"
of^ Virginia's advanced tracking systems, he
said, "It's a little absurd to fear a country we Phi
know a lot about." Si
