Reagan wanted to break the news in his regular weekly radio address Saturday, Nov. 13, to get the issue out of the way before he welcomed West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl on a visit to Washington. To avoid the implication of a political defeat, Reagan also wanted to announce an agreement among the allies concerning possible new curbs on their trade with the Soviets. Accordingly, the U.S. asked the six other countries involved if they would agree to publication of a working paper that diplomats had fashioned in Washington, Britain, West Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan consented...
...June 1979, he stumbled and nearly fell while descending a flight of stairs. On his trip to West Germany in November 1981, he was followed everywhere by two ambulances.

Outside the office of the present Chancellor, Helmut Kohl, gardeners, mow the lawn and vacuum the leaves shed by the towering oak trees that screen the building from the Rhine near by. In an interview with Time Inc. Editor in Chief Henry Anatole Grunwald and TIME Bonn Bureau Chief Roland Flamini last week, his first interview with a U.S. publication since taking office, Kohl spoke of his strong personal commitment...
