1 SALT II ne
| optimistic <
t; By John Deiner and Ann Farmer
The man who once represented the U.S. in
arms control talks with the Soviet Union said
last night he was optimistic the nuclear superpowers
can reach an agreement.
Paul Warnke, chief U.S. negotiator in the
second Strategic Arms Limitation Talks, said
he had intended to criticize the way the
superpowers have failed to meet their responsibilities
in his keynote speech to a symposium
here this weekend. Called
"Nuclear Winter and the Prevention of
Nuclear War," the symposium is sponsored
by USC's Institute of International Studies
and continues today and tomorrow.
BUT WARNKE, who was assistant
secretary of defense during the Johnson ad
ministration and is a past director of the
Arms Control and Disarmament Agency,
! said he changed his mind after President
Reagan announced last week that Secretary
of State George Shultz would meet with
Soviet Prime Minister Andrei Gromyko in
Geneva to set up parameters for arms control
f talks.
He told the crowd that filled Gambrell
Hall Auditorium and spilled across the hall
where video monitors had been set up that he
had some concerns about the terminology
Reagan used when describing the talks.
Reagan called the proposed discussions
"umbrella talks," and Warnke said that
description was fine as long as the President
meant high-level officials ? like Shultz and
Gromyko ? would meet regularly to
monitor the talks. He called such a plan
"useful."
However, Warnke said, if the President
meant that many items would be placed on
the agenda in an attempt to negotiate them
! all at once, such a plan would be futile.
WARNKE SUGGESTED what he said

negotiation, which includes having concur- fepISP
rent talks on intermediate range missiles, on
anti-satellite missiles, and a renewal of the
Test Ban Treaty discussed in the SALT II fetaL;
talks in 1977. Warnke said such a treaty was
"within reaching distance" in the 1977 talks. mm
Warnke did criticize the superpowers for
"protesting devotion to the goal of complete- pfSl
ly eradicating" nuclear weapons while adding
warheads to their arsenals every day.
Resumation of talks on what he called
"ine greatest issue ever to confront
mankind" is a victory for Reagan, Warnke "^pSf!
said, but the President must be a good
winner.
He said it would be a mistake to expect pflpl
that the Soviets' readiness to talk means
capitulation on their part instead of just that iptf
? a willingness to negotiate. The Soviets had
walked out on negotiations of intermediate |l||||i
range missiles in 1983 when the U.S.
deployed Pershing II missiles to western |K^
Europe, and said at that time they would not illllp
return to the bargaining table until the
missiles were removed.
HE AGREED with former Secretary of pSj||f|
State Alexander Haig on the U.S. proposals
in the 1982-1983 talks. Haig called the pro4

Warnke said those proposals meant an
almost unilateral cut for the Soviet Union, Hfcte
and only a token cut for the U.S. MraE
The proposals focused on land - based
ICBMs, Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles. i "T
About 75 to 80 percent of the Soviet nuclear
force is composed of such missiles, compared
to about 25 to 30 percent of the U.S. force.
Another third of U.S. nuclear weapons are
based in submarines, with the final third based
in air craft. |p |
Warnke said the Soviets want to go back to
the bargaining table to prevent U.S. develop- _
ment of space weapons.

"Last year, a group from this body
came and provided a Christmas party
that was talked about by the patients
far into the new year," said James
Starnes, director of volunteer services,
who talked to the assembly.
"Especially during Christmas, it's
not hard to imagine the isolation felt
when confined in an institution,"
Starnes said.
"WHAT THE patients get to see
there are that there are people in the
community who care about them. I
can't tell you how rewarding that is,"
he said.
