No Extended Stay for Gorbachev
Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev apparently does not plan an extended stay in the United States and is expected to arrive in Washington late in the day Dec. 7, hold three days of working meetings with President Reagan beginning Dec. 8 and depart Dec. 10, the White House said today.
