U.S. officials who arrived here tonight with Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger from Vienna reportedly said that the Soviet Union has agreed to postpone the reopening of the Geneva Middle East peace conference until at least August or September and to exercise a restraining influence on Arabs seeking a radical solation in the Mideast. Those agreements were said to have emerged from the series of meetings between Kissinger and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A, Gromyko in Vienna today and yesterday.
A joint communique issued by Kissinger and Gromyko before they left Vienna said the matters they had discussed included “a just and lasting peace in the Middle East including the question of resuming the Geneva peace conference and other matters.”
