This proposal would be linked to an agreement reached at the Reykjavik summit to eliminate medium-range missiles from the Continent.

But there are two ways to look at the Reykjavik summit.

The Reykjavik summit takes place as planned.

Mr. Gorbachev then discussed how to go public about American lying and cheating" since the Reykjavik summit.

The Reykjavik summit was billed as a preliminary session to insure agreement on medium-range missiles.

These should not, however, become obsessed with arms control at the strategic nuclear level, as has occurred in the last few years and particularly at the Reykjavik summit.

President Reagan's decision to back away from proposals that he made at the Reykjavik summit has both minuses and pluses for Moscow.

Some even said it was the Russians who leaked the story after the failure of the Reykjavik summit.

It is the first move since the strange interlude of the Reykjavik summit last October, and this time it is crucial to get it all right.

It was precisely this defiance of the principle of "accountability" that led to the recent mistakes at the Reykjavik summit and the Iran-contra scandals.
