Buli lised the atn 1 their positi* UNIVERSITY NEWS SERVICE: Mikhail Gorbachev’s top arms ad viser is a surprise addition to a Soviet delegation appearing in Houston to day through Friday at the Mosher Institute for Defense Studies sympo sium on arms control. Dr. Oleg Grinevsky, one of three Soviet ambassadors-at-large and principal adviser to Gorbachev arms control since 1986, will speak at the meeting sponsored by the Texas A&M University institute. Grinevsky has been spokesman for the Soviet leader at arms control sessions dur ing the Reagan-Gorbachev summits and joins a Soviet delegation that in cludes a top official from the Krem lin’s principal think-tank on U.S. af fairs. “The unexpected addition of Grinevsky to the Soviet delegation is of major significance, as it suggests the Soviets may view the symposium as an important forum for publicly staking out their arms control ideas I while the Bush administration is still I reviewing its policy options,” Dr. I Ron Hatchett, associate director of 1 the Mosher Institute and a former I U.S. arms negotiator, said. The Mosher defense think-tank at | A&M is bringing together negotia- I tors from all the major arm control I talks for a unique international con- I ference, “Towards a More Stable I Military Balance in Europe,” Hatch- | ett said. The recently formed institute is I headed by noted historian Dr. Frank | E. Vandiver, president emeritus of I Texas A&M and a member of the I Army Science Board. At the meeting, Western, neutral I and Soviet Bloc arms negotiators will I discuss implicatons of the INF I treaty, the control of biological and 1 chemical weapons, and the conven- I tionai military balance in Europe. Formal talks on conventional forces and confidence-and-security building measures, under recently agreed mandates, are set to begin in late March, Hatchett said. The Mosher Institute symposium will give the NATO, Soviet, East Euro pean, neutral and non-aligned coun tries an opportunity to exchange views in an informal setting, he said. “This could prevent a false start when actual negotiations begin,” Hatchett added. Another addition also indicative of the importance the Soviets may be placing on the Mosher symposium is attendance by Maj. Gen. Vladmir Bolyatko from the Soviet Ministry of Defense. Bolyatko represents the So viet military in the U.S.-Soviet mili tary talks set up last summer by the chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff Administration William Crowe and his then-Soviet counterpart Marshal Ahkromayev, Hatchett said. Already scheduled to attend as part of the seven-man Soviet dele gation are Dr. Andrei Kokoshin, deputy director of the Institute for the Study of the USA and Canada at the USSR Academy of Sciences that advises Gorbachev, and Ambassador Oleg Khlestov, forner chief Soviet conventional forces negotiator. Among the United States partici pants are four ambassadors, includ ing Stephen Ledogar, U.S. represen tative to the Negotiations on Conventional Armed Forces in Eu rope, and other current or former heads of U.S. delegations to arms control talks. The Mosher Institute will also fea ture key negotiators from Austria, Switzerland, France, West Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland and other countries. People interested in attending the symposium should contact Hatchett at the Mosher Institute on the Texas A&M Campus at 845-9900.
