RUSSIAN WELCOMES LETTER FROM OBAMA
President Dmitri A. Medvedev of Russia in Madrid on Tuesday. By Ellen
BarryThe New York Times MOSCOW — The Russian president, Dmitri A.
Medvedev, said Tuesday that Russia was open to United States overtures on its
proposed missile defense plan, but dismissed the notion of a deal in which the
United States would shelve the plan in exchange for Russia’s help on
Iran. mm.DI = true;mm.LI = false;mm.AH = "Back Story With Peter

IU = "";writePlayer();The statement came in response to a report in The New
York Times about a private letter from President Barack Obama to his Russian
counterpart, saying the proposed missile defense system would not be
necessary if Moscow could help stop Iran from developing long-range weapons
and nuclear warheads.
The letter, hand-delivered three weeks ago by senior American officials visiting
Moscow, was meant more as an incentive for Moscow to work with Washington
on Iran than a specific deal, according to American officials. Both Mr. Obama and
Mr. Medvedev spoke of the letter on Tuesday as an opening to the possibility of
cooperation on an issue that has deeply divided their countries.
“If we talk about some bargain or exchange, I can say that the issues were not
raised in this way, because it’s counter-productive,” Mr. Medvedev said at a news
conference in Madrid, where he was meeting with the Spanish prime minister.
“What we are getting from our U.S. partners shows at least one thing, that our
U.S. partners are ready to discuss the issue,” he said. “That’s good, because
only a few months ago we were getting different signals — that the decision has
been made, there is nothing to talk about, that we will do everything as it has
been decided.”
Asked about the letter by reporters at an appearance with the British prime
minister, Gordon Brown, Mr. Obama said it was not "some sort of quid pro quo"
but a statement of fact.
“What I said in the letter was that obviously to the extent that we are lessening
Iran’s commitment to nuclear weapons, then that reduces the pressure for, or the
need for, a missile defense system,” he said. He added that the discussions with
Russia do not “diminish my commitment to making sure that Poland, the Czech
Republic and other NATO members are fully enjoying the partnership, the

alliance and U.S. support with respect to their security.”
Russia has passionately opposed the missile defense plan championed by
former President George W. Bush, contending that its siting of radar and other
equipment in Poland and the Czech Republic infringed on Moscow’s sphere of
influence. Before Mr. Bush left office, Russia proposed an alternate system that
would be jointly operated and integrated with a facility on Russian territory; that
offer was rejected.
The Obama administration may be more flexible. Mr. Obama has never been a
strong proponent of the missile defense plan, saying he will back it only if it can
be proved effective and affordable.
The American officials who cast the letter as an incentive rather than a specific
offer spoke on condition of anonymity, because the letter had not been made
public.
Asked about the letter at a news conference in Washington on Tuesday, Defense
Secretary Robert M. Gates said the administration was not “trying to put the
Russians on the spot.”
“I think it is trying to reopen a dialogue,” he said, adding that one option was
“incorporating them in a partnership that makes them a full partner in missile
defense, because the reality is that the missiles that the Iranians are testing can
reach a good part of Russia, as well as Eastern Europe and part of Western
Europe.”
Still, the possibility of a change to the missile defense plan has unnerved leaders
in Poland and the Czech Republic, who staked political capital in signing treaties
with the United States. Mr. Gates said he had asked the Polish prime minister,
Donald Tusk, to “give us a little time” to review relations between the United
States and Russia.
“My sense is that the Poles were somewhat reassured,” he said. “They obviously
would like to see us move forward quickly and strongly.”
Czech authorities made no official comment on the matter on Tuesday. Nikola
Hynek, a defense expert at the Institute of International Relations, said it was too
early to say how worried they should be.
“Obama is not putting missile defense in the deep freeze as such,” he said. “He
is putting it in the fridge. It means it can be taken out depending on Russia.”

Alexander Rahr, a Russia expert at the German Council on Foreign Relations,
said the Obama administration was willing to back down on the plan, but “they
want the Russians to pay a price.” It was clear on Tuesday, he said, that the
Russians are unwilling to link the issues of Iran and missile defense, especially
amid the publicity that surrounded the letter from Mr. Obama.
“It is not in the interest of Russian diplomacy to be presented on the world stage
as a junior partner, as a country which has been pressed into doing something,”
he said.
The matter will likely come up at a Friday meeting in Geneva between Foreign
Minister Sergei V. Lavrov and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. The
two presidents will meet for the first time on April 2 in London.Peter Baker and
