The Prime Minister

The details of the total cost of my visit to the USSR are not yet available. I was accompanied by four officials and 17 support staff, mostly security and communications personnel, whose costs are met from public funds. In addition, 24 media representatives travelled with the official party. Their travel costs will be recovered from their employers.
