The World - News from June 4, 1986

Soviet Ambassador to Britain Leonid M. Zamyatin said Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev still wants a second superpower summit that “strengthens international security, creates trust and leads to curbing of the arms race.” He told a London news conference that a second summit between Gorbachev and President Reagan could reach agreements on a number of critical issues. The Soviet news media said the apparent U.S. decision to no longer be bound by the 1979 strategic arms limitation treaty could imperil chances for a summit in the United States this year.
