Bush to practice future meetings with Gorbachev
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — George Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev will be dealing with each other as equals for the first time when they confer along a fence on Iran, increasing each other up in advance of a likely superpower summit next year.
Although Bush insists he'll take part in Wednesday's lunch merely as vice president, he pointedly adds, "I would have liked them to re'ye taking to the next president."
Echoing to the senate, Senate Minority leader Bob Dole, R-Kan, said Reagan is "going to be in charge until the 20th of January. George Bush understands that. But (Gorbachev) also knows that it not very far away."
Under diplomatic protocol, though, Bush will be at the meeting as Reagan's understudy, not as president-elect. Colin Powell, the White House national security adviser, said that given Bush's position, "it would not be appropriate, then, for the president to have a separate agenda."
bush was asked Monday about Soviet reports that Gorbachev would bring proposals that Americans should consider as a Christmas present. "We're not going to open it before Christmas." Bush ioked.
More seriously, Bush said. "We'll consider whatever it is he has to say. And, no, certainly there'll be some talk of substance at the meeting."
Bush said he had made very clear to the leaders in the Soviet Union that he is anxious to continue seeking to work together and to progress.
"But I have not assembled my national security team in toto," Bush said. "And there will not be any commitment on my part in terms of
specific arms control proposals or things of that nature. We'll listen, make clear we want progress — it's of interest to America and everybody around the world in my view — but not start moving forward in detail on strategic arms, conventional force arms deals or anything else."
To emphasize that he is not intruding on Reagan, Bush will not take his own national security advisory designate, Brent Scroftcrow, to New York. Moreover, Bush is not planning to meet with George W. Bush in preparation of the meeting, leaving that to Secretary of State George P. Shruz and Reagan.
"The sense of appropriateness is very strong with him," said Bush's press secretary, Sheila Tate. "He is pot president."
Bush has said that once he becomes president, he will be prepared to meet Gorbachev "at the earliest time" to assess chances for progress in arms control and other areas.
Powell said he did not know if general timing of a Bush-Gorbachev meeting would be discussed Wednesday, but that Bush had not indicated to detail-level scheduling of when a summit might or might not be."
Bush and Gorbache have meet twice before, once in 1855 after the funeral of Soviet leader Konstantin Chernenko and again in 1897 at the funeral of his son before anyone could know whether Bush would become president.

Traffic expected to be 'Gorbylocked'
NEW YORK — Law enforcement officials are preparing the ultimate in security for Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev's three-day visit this week to New York City and forecasting one of the worst traffic nightmares in years — Gorby griddock.
"Security will be probably as comprehensive and as important as any visit we have had in years and years," said Gillian Martin Sorensen, the city's liaison to the United Nations.
Tomorrow, Gorbachev is scheduled to address the General Assembly, and have lunch with President Reagan and President-elect George Bush, as well as other U.S. and Soviet officials.
"We're talking about one of the superpowers and a visit by a very important world leader," Sorensen said. "It will be ultimate leadership for our new Department and the Secret Service will do all they can do."
When asked how the security was going to affect the city's motorists, Joe O'Brien, a spokesman for the city's Transportation Department, summed it up in one word: "Gorbylock."
Gorbachev and his wife, Raisa,

Gorbachev its itinerary, released by the Police Department on Monday, includes a visit to the observation deck atop one of the World War II towerers after the Soviet leader's luncheon meeting Wednesday.
Gorbachev's 45-car motorcade is then to ride past the New York Stock Exchange and head up to Times Square — all in the heart of rush hour, on avenues closed for the convenience of the Soviet visitors and to the torment of local drivers.
On Thursday, Gorbachev is to attend a Soviet trade show at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, then head across town for a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's European paintings.
Police also said Raisa Gorbachev might visit a department store, but they did not say which one or when. Speculation had centered on Macy's and Bloomingdale's, although a Soviet official noted that a trip to the former was problematic because of crowds attracted by its pre-Christmas sales.
On Friday morning the Gorbachev would go directly to Kennedy Airport for a flight to Cuba.

During his last visit to the United States, the Soviet leader made an unexpected stop in downtown Washington to greet the lunchtime crowd, and Chief Robert Johnston Jr., indicated that the New York police are prepared for such an occurrence.

Despite Gorbachev's drive for "perestroika," or restructuring, Soviet citizens have seen no improvement in the quality or quantity of food and consumer goods, and there is a growing belief that things actually have worsened.

In his talks with Castro, Gorbachev will emphasize that the Soviet Union will no longer encourage communist
revolutions in Latin America, said one Soviet expert on Latin America.
"We are now saying human values take precedence over class values," said the expert, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "We are no longer supporting class wars or socialist revolutions in Latin America.
