baker had just come back from moscow. they have been talking about arms control proposals. the u.s.the time was basically to say you should reduce to equal and lower levels, and the level should be 10% in tanks, artillery, and armored personnel carriers, on the grounds that these three pieces of commitment number 1 were the keys to offensive capability, and, number two, you could verify the a satellite needs. personnel, you cannot really count. so we did not want to get into a personal issue. that is the u.s. position at that point. and when baker went to moscow, gorbachev talked about 25% reductions, and baker came back and once again the u.s. is behind gorbachev. he is talking 25%. we're talking 10%, and in this meeting, i went along with cheney, and he said if you look at the actual numbers instead of the percentages, you will see that gorbachev has assumed a much higher number for the u.s. than we are, so his 25% comes up to the same number of tanks that as our 10% does. so we had said that the u.s.- reagan administration proposal america, same ceiling on tanks, ceiling on artil

when that reached moscow and he saw the destruction, he suddenly believed that this was a serious thing. so the russians were never very far along. the japanese were even less far along. they started working on a bomb quite early, and i think, by the way, that should be weighed in the scale to the question of the moral issue of using nuclear weapons. i have no doubt that the japanese military would have bombed as if they finished their bomb in time -- i have no doubt that the japanese military but have bombed us. the scale was such that it took a third of the national electric supply just to run the reactor to make plutonium and so forth, so they understood early that there was no way they would be able to do this in time for war, and there were no other countries -- germany never got beyond working on a reactor they had at the end of the war of 50% scale reactor, fuelled with uranium, metal, and heavy water, which is to say that of the bill won twice as big, it would have had a functioning reactor. so they were still at the experimental level as well. there has been a fascinating and i

so then he reciprocated the imitation and president bush went to moscow. and then one afternoon after they finish a formal meeting they were sitting around with their feet up with the interpreter, and they were talking about the problems of governing. and bush said, you know, for me one of the difficult things is getting the right person in the right position in the cabinet. he said that's really challenging. and he said how do you go about doing that? and gorbachev said, well, i have a list of questions that ask the candidates. and i'd evaluate their abilities based on their response. and bush said, well, like what sort of questions? and he said when i was interviewing for a foreign minister, i asked him the question, who was your father's son who is not your brother? and bush said, what did he say? and gorbachev said he said that to me. and bush thought about this for a bit, and he got back to washington, and he called in dan quayle and said dan, then he said, i've got a question for you. yes, mr. president. he said, then who is your father son who is no

before we met with you in kabul, you had been in moscow. we never got a readout of that leg of your trip in between pakistan and afghanistan. could you tell us what did you accomplish in russia? did you get any specific commitments? >> actually, it was in berlin, paris and moscow. >> right. >> and also met with the british along the way. then i would add, since i'll do the whole international that in kabul, as you saw, we had foreign ministers from france, the netherlands, deputy foreign minister of japan. and i would draw your attention to the fact that the japanese quadrupled their aid last week and went up to $5 billion in commitments. they tremendously enforced decision by the new government. canada, their foreign minister was there. the indian foreign minister was there. and the senior officials from many other countries. specifically to russia, as you know, i've been trying to go to all the concerned countries. but i haven't been able to get to all of them up until now. i still haven't gotten to all of them. simply because of two thin

getting to an earlier point, i interviewed the deputy secretary of defense in moscow. he said if heii had passed, we would have not gone into afghanistan. -- if salt ii had passed. there is something to be said for these agreements and shaking hands. his argument was that there is no evidence that anyone in the soviet union ever authorize the invasion of afghanistan. there is a strong indicator in his argument that these treaties do matter. 15 years later -- 25 years later where afghanistan has turned into what it is, maybe it was not such a good thing. it just shows how these agreements, when you play them out into the future, they have very complicated change effects. >> i was on the opposite side of your grandfather. i thought that they salt ii treaty did do some significant things and it stopped things where they work, and then brought them down about 10%. it could have been improved, of course, but it was a step. i firmly believe that what defeated the treaty was the carter administration's mishandling of the cuban issue, where as somehow the 1700 russian troops i
