America's situation is not so desperate; it can take or leave the Soviet offer.

The Soviet offer falls short of the worldwide elimination of the missiles.

The Soviet offer came concurrently with massive economic efforts to Germany.

The Soviet offer would enable Iraq to withdraw much more of its military equipment and supplies.

But Bush Administration officials say the Soviet offer is unacceptable.

We looked very carefully over the Soviet offers and we chose the best available.

But today's American statement dismissed the Soviet offer, calling it unacceptable.

When they received the Soviet offer in November, they simply did not reply.

He said it was the guerrillas' courage and determination that had led to the Soviet offer to withdraw its 115,000 troops.

He said the Soviet offer on medium- and short-range weapons was a "pretty good deal."
