In the beginning of 1974, President Nixon arrived in the USSR for his third Détente summit meeting with Prime Minister Brezhnev. The president was met, with acclaim as he entered Moscow. A major change from the first summit two years ago, and even in his own home country where he was currently facing an investigation on the burglaries at Watergate. The goal of this summit was once again to discuss, if not come to an agreement, on both countries decrease in a number of MIRVs (multiple independently targetable reentry missiles). Much like with Brezhnev at the second summit, President Nixon was privileged to stay in the Prime Minister’s dacha in Oreanda and was treated to multiple dinner parties. Even with the success of another summit, President Nixon and Brezhnev had no plans for a forth détente summit.
