February: 21, 1984 The Leaf-Chronicle, Clarksville, Tenn. NATO Beckons Soviets Back To Arms Talks BRUSSELS, Belgium -(AP) The Western alliance said Monday it is ready to resume medium-range missile talks "at the drop of a hat," and urged the new Soviet leadership return to the negotiations Moscow broke off three months ago. Senior NATO representatives, meeting for the first time since the death Feb. 9 of Soviet President Yuri V. Andropov, issued a statement saying they are ready to consider any serious Soviet suggestions for arms control.

"The United States, with the full support of the allies, is ready to resume negotiations at any time," the statement said. Richard Burt, assistant U.S. secretary of state for European affairs, added: "The important signal to send is that we're ready to negotiate drop of a hat. Once the Soviet Union is prepared the same we will be position to make progress in Geneva." The Soviet Union walked out of Geneva negotiations on limiting intermediate-range nuclear arms last November to protest deployment of the first of 572 U.S. cruise and Pershing 2 missiles that are to be stationed in Western Europe to counter Grand Opening Grand opening ceremonies were observed at Military TV and Appliances Monday morning with the assistance of Miss Tennessee, Moira Alice Kaye of Knoxville.

An official of one delegation, commenting on Andropov's death, said, "If there's going to be a change, now might be a good time to do it." Burt cautioned, however, that "it's much too early to say," whether new Soviet Communist Party chief Konstantin U. Chernenko wants to resume the talks. "You have a new leader in Mr. Chernenko," he said. "At the same time you have some familiar faces in very important mentioned Foreign Minister Andrei: Gromyko and Defense Minister Dmitri Ustinov, longtime architects of Soviet negotiating policies.

The NATO representatives also renewed their concern about continued Soviet missile deployments at home and in Eastern-bloc countries closer to NATO territory.

Their statement said the Soviets continue to build bases for SS-20 missiles with a range of 3,125 miles, meaning they will eventually have more than the current 378 launchers, each with three warheads. They declined to give details on shorter-range missiles being deployed in Eastern Europe.
