Geneva summit soon?
NZPA-AFP Venice A summit meeting between President Ronald Reagan and the Soviet leader, Mr Mikhail Gorbachev, could take place “before long, meaning this summer” in Geneva, the White House Chief of Staff, Mr Howard Baker, said in Venice yesterday. Speaking on A.B.C.
television after the close of the seven-nation summit here, Mr Baker said the holding of a summit would depend on prospects for a disarmament agreement emerging from this week’s North Atlantic Treaty Organisation meeting in Iceland — and those prospects were “good.”
There were “good prospects for producing N.A.T.O. unity on an arms control position” in Reykjavik, he said. “If that happens, I would anticipate that a meeting between the United States and the. Soviet Union could occur in Geneva before long, meaning this summer.”
