GRAPEVINE, Page 15Don't Call Us, We'll Call You
By DAVID ELLIS/Reported by Sidney Urquhart
Mikhail Gorbachev is determined to meet with George Bush
sometime this summer, but Washington will continue to balk until
the Soviet leader makes a few more arms-control concessions.
While Kremlin officials have repeatedly predicted a June
rendezvous, their U.S. counterparts have bridled at the idea
because of unresolved issues. Negotiators still haven't decided
how to verify a Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), and
U.S. arms experts complain that Moscow is undermining the
agreement on Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) by removing
some military units from the treaty's jurisdiction. Even the
location of a potential summit is up in the air: the recent U.S.
embassy fire will probably force the two leaders to hold most
of their talks in Leningrad. That at least would avoid a touchy
problem. Gorbachev advisers have told Washington they don't want
Bush to meet with Boris Yelt sin, maverick leader of the Russian
republic.
