The two days of U.S.-Soviet talks on the Middle East ended here Wednesday with no comment from either side. A U.S. Embassy spokesman said afterwards that a statement would be issued later, either from Moscow or Washington, but didn’t say when. The talks, which the U.S. repeatedly stressed were an exchange of views, not negotiations, were conducted by delegations headed by Richard Murphy, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs, and Vladimir Polyakov, head of the Soviet Union’s Near East Division and the Kremlin’s expert on the Mideast.
