Attorney charges utility
kept record on “enemies”
ATLANTA (AP) - An Albany
attorney says he has “sworn
j testimony” confirming that
| Georgia Power Co. kept in
| telligence records on its
| “enemies” and he says he plans
1 to deliver that testimony to the
I Dekalb County District
' Attorney’s office.
The attorney, John M. Van
sant Jr., represents former
state Rep. Larry Thomason of
Decatur, an outspoken critic of
the utility’s policies and rate
hikes.
Vansant said Tuesday the tes
timony also supports charges
that the power company has
spent several million dollars
since 1973 on plain-clothes in
telligence operations that were
unrelated to plant security or
employe safety.

U. S., Soviets closer to SALT
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
United States and Soviet Union
are closer to a new strategic
arms limitation agreement, a
top Soviet official says after his
second meeting in five days
with President Carter.
Emerging from an unusual
and hastily arranged night-time
negotiating session at the White
House, Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko said Tuesday
the two superpowers made
“some further progress” in
narrowing their remaining dif
ferences on a new pact.
With Secretary of State Cyrus
R. Vance nodding in agreement
at his side, Gromyko said
Washington and Moscow have
“the firm intention to work to
ward” a second SALT agree
ment.
Coming after progress in
marathon talks here last Thurs
day and Friday, Gromyko’s re
marks left the impression that
the momentum is accelerating
toward a new agreement.
But U.S. officials cautioned
against speculation that a
Page 11
breakthrough is near.
A sense of urgency pervaded
the atmosphere here as
Gromyko flew from New York
in the early evening for the
meeting. Vance, who had also
been in New York, arrived sep
arately.
Gromyko, speaking through
his interpreter, refused to say
what brought the second session
with such speed. He and White
House Press Secretary Jody
Powell said only that the
meeting was agreed to Monday.
Powell said the “core issues”
were discussed in the 90-minute
meeting, which was attended by
Vice President Walter F.
Mondale, Defense Secretary
Harold Brown, U.S. arms ne
gotiator Paul Wamke and oth
ers.
The main issues include the
Soviet stand that the U.S. cruise
missiles should be tightly
limited. The cruise missile is a
low-flying, pilotless plane ar
med with a nuclear warhead.
The United States is insisting
on restrictions on the SSIB, a
Griffin Daily News Wednesday, September 28, 1977
Soviet heavy missile, and on the
Soviet backfire bomber.
Another major issue is how
compliance with any new
agreement will be verified.
The 1972 SALT pact expires
Monday, but the Carter admin
istration has insisted that Mos
cow and Washington are not
negotiating against that dead
line. Both governments have
said they will honor the terms of
the expiring accord while the
new one is being negotiated.
The old treaty imposes limits
on land-based and submarine-

Gromyko flew to Washington
after addressing the United Na
tions General Assembly in a
speech that mixed conciliation
with toughness toward the
United States.
In a surprise move, Gromyko
offered in the New York speech
to join the United States and
Great Britain in suspending all
underground nuclear weapons
tests for an unspecified period.
He said this would be “a ma
jor step conducive to lessening
the threat of nuclear war and
deepening detente.” But he
sharply criticized the Carter
administration on several other
fronts. .
