Mr. McNamara vras quite frank in saying that there had been no progress whatever in persuading the Russians to begin the proposed talks. He thought that Vietnam was the main reason for this. The President and Mr. McNamara had pressed Mr. Kosygin very hard at Glassboro, but had got nowhere. Another approach would be made to the Russians this week, but it seemed clear from the flow of Mr. McNamara's remarks that.the United States Administration had given up the effort to use the prospective talks withtfe Soviet Union as a lever to help withstand domestic political pressure for a start on ABM production. Mr. McNamara*s attitude towards this was one of evident regret,- but equally of pragmatic acceptance of a political fact.* Nevertheless, he said that it was almost a certainty that talks with the Soviet authorities would take place at some point. Whether this xrouid be in a month, or a year, or two years, he could not now guess. Certainly the Russians appeared to be "very defensive" at the moment. f30D.) H.B. R O B I N S O N H.B.
