In program four, the Ambassadors debate the nature of Gorbachev's rev- olution and assess the implications of that revolution for the United Nations. The Ambassadors disagree over whether Soviet conduct at the U.N. has truly changed, but agree that a certain level of U.S.-Soviet cooperation would help the operation of the U.N. Several Ambassadors observe that there has been occasional tacit and overt U.S.-Soviet co- operation at the U.N., but caution that too much U.S.-Soviet coopera- tion could lead to resentment among smaller countries. Sir Brian Urquhart(senior U.N. official serving over 41 years) generally concurs with the Ambassadors, observing that the apparent new Soviet attitude toward the U.N. broke up "log jams" that had been in place since World War II.
