Kennedy & the Kremlin
Fox News
A new book is alleging that Senator Ted Kennedy tried to help the Soviets undermine Ronald Reagan's nuclear defense policy and influence the 1984 presidential election. Author Paul Kengor says Kennedy sent an envoy to meet with Kremlin leaders, offered to give Soviet President Yuri Andropov talking points about disarmament and set up TV interviews for him. The head of the KGB said Kennedy was concerned about what he called "Reagan's belligerence" and his popularity in the U.S.
The senator's office responded today, telling FOX News the book is "way off the mark." It said Kennedy had a constructive relationship with President Reagan and used his Soviet contacts to help the president in his arms control efforts.
