- <p> 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 Yeltsin, maverick leader of the Russian
- republic.
