Soviet leader Mikhail S.
Gorbafthey met with Vice
President'George Bush at
the Soviet Embassy Thurs-
day near the end of a three-
day White House summit
that has produced progress
— but nd breakthroughs —
on sticky superpower
issues. ”.......
Gorbachev was heading
for the White House and his
final scheduled discussions
with President Reagan
after meeting with Bush
and then having breakfast
with the vice president and
other American guests.
As Reagan and the Soviet
Communist Party general
secretary resumed per-
sonal diplomacy, they
awaited word from aides
on whether there was suffi-
cient progress toward a se-
cond nuclear arms agree-
ment to anticipate a 1988
Moscow summit in the
closing months of Reagan’s
presidency.
“We see a little progress
here and there, but they
are tough issues. ” said
Secretary of State George
P. Shultz.
