Soviet leader may address Kansas visitors in Moscow

Staff writer
TOPEKA — Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev may speak, but little else is known yet about the Moscow disarmament forum three Lawrence residents and Kansas' attorney general will attend later this month.

The four Kansans, Lawrence Mayor Sandra Praeger; city commissioner David Longhurst; peace activist Bob Swan; and Attorney General Bob Stephan had few details to present at yesterday's news conference in Tooeka.

But they were enthusiastic that the invitations they received this week from the Soviet government were a positive signal that the next summit between President Reagan and Gorbachev could be in Lawrence.
"We want the promise of Reykjavik to become a reality of Lawrence, who long质疑, who presented the Lawrence summit in 1983
Longhurst said he hoped the "people-to-police" forum would be a productive meeting for bringing world peace. On a government level, bringing about peace becomes more complicated.
The group did not know where they would be staying for the Feb 14-16 "Toward a Nuclear Weapons-Free World" forum, who the other 100 to 150 U.S. citizens invited by the Soviets were, or what the forum's agenda would be.
However, Swan said they had been told by Soviet Embassy officials that Gorbachev might address the forum.
Meeting For Peace Committee, which has led the campaign for a Lawrence summit, said he hoped to present Gorbachev letters of invitation from Gov. Mike Hayden and the city.

Swan said he also would take the two resolutions, passed unanimously by the Kansas House and Senate yesterday, that support the proposed Lawrence summit.
USSR invites prof to forum
By a Kansan reporter
A KU professor and the official Lawrence delegation invited to a Soviet-sponsored disarmament for other militaries bump into each other in Red Square.
Gerald Mikelsen, professor of Slavic languages and literatures, said yesterday that he was invited a month ago to attend a Soviet Writer's Union conference in Moscow the one week as the disarmament forum.
Mikkelsen said he and other writers from the United States and the Soviet Union will be discussing literature more closely over better relations between the countries.
"I know the overall issue is a nuclear-free world," he said.
Mikkelson said he probably would fly on the same jet as the delegation. The Soviet Union is paying for his trip.
Fourteen years ago, Mikelson was able to establish the University of Kansas' renowned 'Soviet Writers'宿舍. He taught six classes in Soviet authors to KU for a year.
No other U.S. university has such a program, though many have tried, MKL, NYU and UC Berkeley.
"KU has become known in the Soviet Union as a gateway for prominent writers to come to the United States," he said.
