Nine Soviet and 13 American editors at a round-table discussion in Washington agreed that each nation could help reporters by loosening travel restrictions. Vitaly Chukseev, a Tass news agency editor formerly assigned to San Francisco, told the American Society of Newspaper Editors panel that he was hampered by State Department requirements that he give 48 hours notice before leaving the city.
