EXCERPTS FROM SHULTZ'S NEWS CONFERENCE ABOUT ARMS TALKS

Date: 09 January 1985

Following are excerpts from Secretary of State George P. Shultz's press conference in Geneva yesterday, as transcribed by The New York Times through the facilities of ABC News. Mr. Shultz began by reading the communique issued by the two sides. OPENING STATEMENT While the statement speaks for itself, I would like to give you my own views on what has been accomplished during these two days of meetings. From our perspective, these meetings represent an important beginning. We can't be sure where these negotiations will lead and, clearly, we have a long road ahead of us. There are many tough and complicated issues still to be resolved, but we have here in Geneva agreed on the objectives for new negotiations on nuclear and space arms. They have also agreed that these negotiations will be conducted by a delegation from each side divided into three groups. We came to Geneva with high hopes but realistic expectations. Our previous exchanges had confirmed that we were in general agreement that the problems of nuclear and space arms are interrelated and that both sides attach priority to achieving radical reductions in nuclear weapons as a first step toward their complete elimination.

Six months ago Western diplomats were writing off the possibility that the Kremlin might return to arms negotiations. They said the Soviet Union's aging leaders were too insecure, too set in their ways, to take initiatives.
