Gorbachev on U.S. TV
NZPA-Reuter Moscow The Russion leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, gave his first interview to a United States television network on Saturday when NBC filmed him for an hour answering questions on subjects from arms control to human rights, an NBC official said.
“He was extremely forthcoming and frank in his replies,” the NBC vicepresident, Tim Russert, said. “We all have a sense of historical dimensions.”
The programme will be broadcast in the United States tomorrow (New Zealand time); one week before Mr Gorbachev arrives in Washington for a three-day summit meeting with President Ronald Reagan.
The interview was conducted by the NBC “Nightly News” anchorman, Tom Brokaw. It is expected to be broadcast
in the Soviet Union at a later date. The network officials, who chatted with Mr Gorbachev before and after the interview at the Kremlin, declined to disclose the content of his remarks.
