...Angola situation remained cloudy, a high-ranking U.S. official claimed "a considerable degree of progress" on the SALT talks. Stalled since July, the talks are designed to button up the broad agreement between President Ford and Brezhnev at Vladivostok in November 1974 to limit each side's strategic nuclear weapons to 2,400 long-range bombers and missiles. An unresolved question was how to prevent the Soviets from converting their existing missiles to more powerful models.
