Organizers of the Goodwill Games, buoyed by a meeting at the White House, were optimistic that President Bush and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev will visit the Games this summer in Seattle.

“The feeling at the White House is very favorable,” said the Rev. William J. Sullivan, chairman of the board of directors for the Seattle Organizing Committee.

“It is my own personal judgment that if President Bush decides to come, I think Mr. Gorbachev in all probability would come, too.”
