It was Gorbachev's second visit to the United States in a year, and the fifth time he has arranged to sit down with Reagan. The two leaders signed a historic arms reduction treaty during the Washington summit last year.
For his part, Bush was playing down his role in today's luncheon session. He told a news conference in Washington he would attend in his capacity as vice president, and without any of the national security aides he has picked for his incoming administration.
On resolving the differences between the superpowers, Bush said,
"I will make it clear that we want to go forward, but I am not going to be pressed into going beyond that prudent approach."
Last year, Gorbachev came to Washington. This time it was New York, where some of the biggest headaches were caused by the logisticians in the general secretary's 45-car motorcade through town Manhattan.

Such a move, in the absence of a similar move by the United States, would reduce the Soviet advantage in conventional forces in Europe and could facilitate an overall conventional force agreement early in the Bush administration.
An U.S. official acknowledged the possibility of a "grand gesture,"
The U.S. official told The Associated Press that the Soviets gave no formal notification in advance of Gorbachev's visit to a troop reduction "However, "the official said. "It is on our list of expectations."
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Warsaw Pact are expected to open talks on reducing troops, tanks and other non-nuclear forces early next year.

A Dutch radio station, Radio Netherlands World Service, reported yesterday that Gorbachev will offer to cut Soviet troop levels by 30 percent, or 140,000 soldiers. The minister, Gen. Dimitri Yazov, had threatened to resign if the offer were actually made.
The Soviet news agency Tass, in a dispatch by a diplomatic correspondent distributed shortly after Gorbachev left Moscow, said the Kremlin leader "intends to talk about importing US arms" and that real political cooperation between the two countries on the broadest range of problems."

Jews and Armenians protest Soviet policies
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Scores of protesters gathered last night near the Soviet mission where Mikhail Gorbachev is staying to vent their displeasure at the Soviet leader's policies on Armenians and Jews.
With speeches, songs and chants, the demonstrators made their positions known, but got no apparent responses from anyone at the mission a half-block away in a faction section of Manhattan's East Side.
"Gorbache stop the massacres," chanted several hundred American-Armenians, referring to Nazi forces against Armenians in Azerbaijan.
Across from the Armenians stood a handful of Jews calling for improved human rights for Jews in the Soviet Union.
"We hope the light of Hanukkah penetrates the darkness of Soviet Russia," said Glenn Richter, an organizer of the demonstration by the Student Struggle for Soviet
Jewrv
Rabbi Avraham Weiss, addressing th gathering of about 20 people, said "We're here for the hundreds of thousands denied permission to travel to Israel Union. We're here for all of those who died waiting for exit visas."
Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., who came to the Armenian rally at the request of the organizers, said, "We want to let the Soviets know that we are concerned about human rights."
Lautenberg said Western reporters and the Red Cross should be allowed in the region 'and tell us truth about what's happening.'
Long-simmering racial antagonisms in the southern Soviet republics of Armenia and Azerbaijan have surfaced under Gorbachev's policies of perestroika and glassnost, or restructuring and openness forcing the Kremlin to virtual state of martial law there.
