Summary/Abstract: Only one year after his visit to Moscow and in a delicate moment to his political career, President Nixon invited the leader from Kremlin to the White House. Althought this represented the climax of detente, the American Administration has been mislead by the Soviet policy. While USSR’s targets were the recognition of its power and the maintaining of the European statu-quo, the American agenda was to get the Soviets out from the Midile East and finding appropriate solutions at the German problem in exchange of SALT and economical cooperation.
