A file of correspondence and reports concerning Sino-Soviet relations. The documents include discussions with U.S. representatives on the likelihood of the Soviet Union carrying out a pre-emptive strike against China, in light of reports that the Soviets have debated the issue with East European countries. Other documents in the file discuss a report that a Soviet major, speaking in Ulaanbaator, had warned his audience of a possible war; and claims that a junior diplomat at the Soviet embassy in Washington had enquired about possible U.S. reactions should the Soviets launch a strike against a Chinese nuclear complex.
