U.S. Envoys Brief World Leaders on Summit
U.S. envoys were active around the globe Saturday, briefing world leaders on the results of President Reagan’s summit meeting last week in Geneva with Mikhail S. Gorbachev.
Robert C. McFarlane, President Reagan’s national security adviser, briefed Pope John Paul II at the Vatican. McFarlane had a 30-minute private audience with the pontiff, the Vatican press office said, giving no details of their conversation.
In Cairo, Assistant Secretary of State Richard W. Murphy Jr. discussed the talks with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and prepared to fly to New Delhi to brief Indian officials. Chester A. Crocker, another assistant secretary of state, was in Dakar, Senegal, to discuss the summit with President Abdou Diouf.
And in Washington, Reagan conferred by telephone with Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, who had already been briefed in person on the East-West meeting by Assistant Secretary of State Paul D. Wolfowitz. Wolfowitz on Saturday arrived in Peking to brief Chinese officials.
