GENEVA — The United
States returned to strategic arms
talks with Moscow Wednesday
with a modified proposal aimed
at limiting nuclear warheads on
long-range intercontinental
missiles.
The Strategic Arms Reduc
tion Talks (START) were re
suming later in the day (10:30
a.m. EDT) after a 10 week recess
so both sides could reassess their
bargaining positions.
Chief U.S. negotiator Ed
ward Rowny, on his arrival from
Washington Wednesday, con
firmed that President Reagan
had modified the basic U.S.
proposal.
“Our START proposal is
being modified,” Rowny said, to
“incorporate fundamentals” of
the Scowcroft Commission re
port on strategic nuclear
weapons.
Rowny said he was “a little
more optimistic” that the mod
ified U.S. proposal would break
the Soviet-U.S. deadlock at the
talks.
“Hope springs eternal,” the
retired general said. “I am a
cockeyed optimist.”
President Reagan was ex
pected to make a statement in
Washington Wednesday on the
U.S. proposal, but Rowny said
the proposal did not represent
any softening of Washington’s
position. “I don’t characterize it
as any softening,” he said. “It has
been modified.”
The Scowcroft Commission
recommended emphasizing
warhead numbers rather than
long-range missiles seeking a ba
lance between U.S. and Soviet
strategic weapons.
Rowny said the United States
wants an agreement that pro
vides “substantial reductions
(and) enhances deterrence” and
that “results in equality.” It also
“must be verifiable,” he said.
“We are prepared to be flexible
and innovative,” he said in a pre
pared arrival statement.

snorters, smokers and injec
tors.”
Cocaine users, he said, can
also die as a result of:
•An acute heart attack, abnor
mal heart rhythm or stroke.
•Drowning or suffocation.
He said a chronic lack of sleep
and anesthetizing of the back of
the throat may interact to cause
a deep sleep, accompanied by a
flaccid jaw-induced obstruction
of the airway (suffocation) or fa
ilure to move the body’s own
secretions in the airway.
“Typically, people who see a
friend die report that the victim
took the drug orally or snorted it
and was symptom free for 30-to-
60 minutes,” Gold said.
“They had no apparent prob
lem, and then without warning,
they had grand mal seizures and
convulsions, followed very
rapidly (within a minute or so)
by respiratory collapse and
death,” he said.
Gold said death can and does
occur in young people who
drink and use cocaine. An indi
vidual may snort cocaine and
drink whiskey, he said. The
cocaine keeps the person awake
enough to keep drinking and try
to drive home.
“The cocaine wears off before
the alcohol, and since he has a
very high blood level of alcohol,
he will pass out and have a car
accident.
“Usually in a traffic situation,
only the blood alcohol is analy
zed. But our patients who sur
vive regularly report these stor
ies. A very high blood alcohol is
frequently a consequence of an
all night use of cocaine in a re
creational setting to prolong the
evening,” Gold said.
There also are cocaine related
suicides.
“The cocaine dependent indi
viduals commit suicide when
they feel hopeless and helpless,”
Gold said.
“Suicide may be seen as the
only solution to deteriorating
health, personal, domestic,
financial and work situations
from the cocaine use which the
users believe they cannot stop,”
he said.
Gold also said chronic cocaine
users become impotent. Nutri
tion deteriorates and multiple
vitamin and essential nutrition
deficiencies also occur. Gold
said cocaine affects vision, too.
Gold, 1982 winner of the
American Psychiatric Associa
tion Foundation’s Fund Prize
for his research in opiate with
drawal, is director of research at j
Fair Oaks Hospital, in Summit, t
N.J. The private psychiatric hos
pital recently launched a nation
al toll-free cocaine hotline (800-
c-o-c-a-i-n-e) to refer cocaine
addicts to help.

about $2 million in 1983-84 and
$23 million the following school
year.
Bynum said a computer
print-out given to lawmakers in
the closing days of the legislative
session had failed to take into
account previous teacher salary
increases and, therefore,
erroneously listed the expected
losses at $110 million for the
biennium.
“We are pleased that, if we
made an error, we made it that
way,” Bynum said at a Capitol
news conference. “But it doesn’t
mean there still aren’t prob
lems.”
The reduced minimum aid
money was the result of the Leg
islature’s failure to consider a
proposal to alter the minimum
aid formula, which guarantees
that state funding for school dis
tricts does not fall below per-
pupil aid plus pay raises in the
1980-1981 school year.
