| Summary: | A framework containing general principles to help industrial democracies deal with the Soviet Union and its allies over the years and decades to come is presented. The direction advocated by the framework is one involving active, sustained, and positive engagement with the East. There are five major parts to the framework. Part I discusses the East-West relationship by examining Western and Soviet premises and priorities. Part II deals with the political relationship between East and West, and contends that the process of steadily increasing contacts and constructive interactions with the East must rest on the twin pillars of firmness and flexibility. Part III deals with the security relationship. Ways to reduce risks, maintain security, curb the arms race, and open a new channel of communication are discussed. International trade is the focus of Part IV which emphasizes that economic relations must be widened. The framework concludes with a discussion of how to cooperate by developing cultural and educational ties between the East and West, encouraging program exchanges, and using radio and television to present more positive images and attitudes for the youth of both countries.
