 I think you recognize the gentleman with me. Chief of Staff, Senator Baker. Well, please, do you see what is going on behind closed doors? I must believe that what you reported from this summit was some of the best news the American growth of the number of weapons. Both sides are now focused on ways to mutually reduce the Western democracies to have trust in a government that doesn't trust its own people and denies their human rights. So be assured that responsibility is demonstrated by the alliance. During the sensitive negotiations we've gone through in the summit and in the weeks and months before the summit. And now that said, General Secretary Gorbachev, this week, we go around the capital, meet with people on the streets, with reporters, with business groups. We saw one perspective. In your aides and advisors, we hear another perspective, a tight barbiter as opposed to the polished salesman of himself and his country. Could you tell us, please, from your impression, which is the real style Gorbachev? I think the both of you. I'll try to follow up. The relationship between the two of you also seems to change. From Reykjavik, where it seemed a little bit strange, to this time, it seemed a little more natural. Was that just a general progression of relationships as people know better, or was there a difference in bargaining? I think you're taking that regular down to one final hour. A follow-up? Thank you, sir. Please, Bill. For example, I'm Fred Fez from the Post Standard up in Syracuse, New York. In the past, the start talks seem to have been held hostage, if you will, by the SDI, Star Wars, and ABM compliance dispute. Do you feel, as a result of your summit meeting with Mr. Gorbachev, that that obstacle, those obstacles, have been reduced or indeed eliminated? We have made great progress. Mr. President, with our SDI, you mentioned Mr. President Bill Hutel from WABCD in New York. Back in the Soviet Union, not on Connecticut Avenue, on the way to the White House yesterday. Well, by the time we got here, and we had to go to the U.S. Mr. Freddy Rubin from the Philadelphia Incar to follow up on the SDI question, Mr. President. Have the Soviets agreed to drop their objections to the U.S. testing under the board interpretation of the ABM treaty? And was the agreement that you reached a breakthrough? Does the formula resolve the issue, or does it merely postpone it for now? No, it resolves it. The follow-up there and then the other way. A hustle time is John Anderson from Hustle Times. Can you categorically state now that Star Wars or SDI is no longer any impediment in the start talks that is completely put aside? I don't think there's any impediment there at all. It's a limited movement was made on human rights issues. Can you talk a little bit more about what slight progress may have been made in those areas? Well, individuals who have been prevented from getting visas or who are incarcerated. And this is because what we've been following here is a policy of getting names and creating lists. And we have presented those lists touring the countryside and see America get acquainted with it. They don't think they're violating any human rights. They think we are. Why is that? Let me take this one lady here and then back there. Mr. President, first of all, thank you very much for a very exciting week. And I'm just going to give you that little buffalo. Western New York is the home of the Chicago Constitution where for the last three years we have had project peace initiatives in exchange with the Soviets. We are going back again next night. How do you view this project peace initiative following the subject? Oh, not only do we view them well. We've spoken about the improved relationship between the two of you being one of the benefits of this summit. If that's the case, why not expand upon it and do as you just suggested. Meet more often even when you're treating this guy. Or do you like you did this morning, pick up the phone and follow him more often? Well, we stay in community now going forward with the things that we've discussed here and which in three days you can't completely agree on all the things that must be resolved. But we will be going forward to the context. I think one of the most hopeful signs is that he, not me, reduction in military in arms all the way across the board. What specifically did you discuss on chemical weapons and where do you go from there? Well, no, just that as I say, he brought that up as a part of the subject that we've got to go forward with as specifically we're going on, let's say, the nuclear weapons. Because of these are things we've been discussing, but he made it plain that he doesn't want to stop there. He wants arms reduction to be. The president of the United Nations, N.E.B. and Boston, the American people know you very well, but they don't know Mr. Groberchop very well. You're doing better than anybody else. Do you believe he's a good man and do you completely trust him? I think I've been involved in the communist situation long before I was in this office. I was once president of the union, in the motion picture industry. I had no problem I trust but verify. Can you just follow up on that, Mr. President? Mr. Groberchop. Mr. Groberchop. Hello, I'm from New York. You have described in the past that the Soviet Union is a neutral empire. And you said that communists who going to be sweating a dustpan at history. Do you still feel that love? Well, I think the very has been the enormous economic problem. Yeah. What? That's a good question. I'm afraid these more than 90% of the Soviet Union off-limits US inspectors. And doesn't that have to be concerned about that? You'll always have to be concerned about that. Just as I'm sure they are, too. To stop a weapon coming out of the plant, have the hood removed and count the number of warheads that it contains to see that it is meeting the requirements. Both have agreed to replace great emphasis upon these rigorous and intrusive verification procedures yet. Shorted withdrawal from the treaty, there's no specific provision for compensatory or penalties should the Soviets be found cheating. Do you advocate assault, too, on the basis of Soviet cheating? Would you favor and support doing the same thing with the INF if they're bound to be cheating? Or should the Senate attach specific penalties should the Soviets be found to be cheating on INF? Well, I think that we want to withdraw and he would do that within a 12 month period at most. And yes, he has some concerns then about our continued support and demanding that the country should disarm themselves and I, in turn, have made a claim to them that there's no way that we come together and the people of that country decide on the kind of government they want and a neutral government. Just as a follow-up, do you think it would be best to be resolved? We believe this is probably a really historic event and the most forward thing that has happened between our two countries in the last 40 years. WROK and Rockford, Illinois. You characterized the successful signing of the INF agreement there. It's one of the most important actions concerning their weapons since World War II. If I could ask you to speak personally, how do you characterize this successful agreement as far as your accomplishments in office since 1988? Is this the most important aspect of the Reagan legacy? 100 years from now will we look back and see Ronald Reagan improve relations with the Soviets? I don't expect you to be looking back on this. One last question. One second. We do in South Florida will be proud of how you've been opposed in our back door. Recently, we have normalized the relations which were not normalized in the last generation of the policies of Cuba. What would you have to say to folks in South Florida about all this? Well, having been a governor of the state myself and believing in federalism, I have to say that... What is the number of people who are expected to come against South Florida and their real and severe economic concerns about how we can vote with a hundred dollars in those folks? An immigration plan. But again, I have to say that... Through the verification terms, will the security of our vital defense systems become vulnerable? And also, at the next proposed summit in Moscow, what's the status of the bugged American embassy? That... they know very well how we feel about that. Could you explain that order and exactly what those troops would have been authorized to do? Very quietly. I issued an order. The troops could be made available only if that was the tool to extend the order. Thank you very much. I have to get along with her. No, I don't. That's great. I think the people of both countries want to be protected. We are teasing you, because we've never noticed how precious you have to sound
