Kohl and Yeltsin debate questions of finance and the withdrawal of "Soviet" troops from East Germany in 1994.

Moreover, he emphasizes the enormous scope of environmental damage that the former Soviet forces had been causing in East Germany.

Terechov reports that Gorbachev had resumed his duties in Moscow. The constitutional order would be fully restored very soon.
