ABSTRACT
I very well understand your anxiety and that of the American people about the fact that the weapons you describe as offensive are formidable weapons indeed . . .
In order to eliminate as rapidly as possible the conflict which endangers the cause of peace . . . the Soviet government, in addition to previously issued instructions to cease further work on weapons construction sites, has issued a new order to dismantle the weapons which you describe as offensive, and to crate and return them to the Soviet Union . . .
