There was also tough talk in Washington as the Carter Administration stepped up its criticism of Moscow for meddling in Africa. National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski harshly denounced the Soviets for violating the "code of detente" and for making a "shortsighted attempt to exploit global difficulties."
