Dear Pr. Lederberg:

Thank you very much for your letter, and I am
reassured that you are in agreement with me in the main
thrust of the piece I wrote about the present German
situation.

I do not believe, however, that you correctly under-
stood my point about the US-USSR accord on nuclear disarm-
ament. Perhaps I did not make myself sufficiently clear.

‘I did not mean to imply that an agreement upon arms
control must depend on mutual trust and confidence about
the other's intentions and motives; rather I thought I said that
it depended on serving mutual interest. This is a horse of a
agifferent color. ,

In any event, I thank you for writing as you did.

Sincerely yours,

   
 

.

Arthur J. Goldberg
