WASHINGTON INSIGHT

THE COLD WAR’S OVER, WE’RE GOING TO . . . : President Bush and Russian President Boris N. Yeltsin want to remove all Cold War restrictions, but their two countries are still haggling over the rules that govern travel by diplomats and journalists. . . . The old rules blocked Americans from visiting large parts of the former Soviet Union and prohibited Russian diplomats from using many airports, including LAX. Originally, officials hoped to drop the restrictions altogether, but they’re now settling for simplified rules requiring diplomats and journalists to notify host governments of their travel plans. . . . Russian diplomats expect an agreement in a month--”and then we can fly to Disneyland.”
