BUSH, GORBACHEV MAY VISIT GAMES

President Bush and Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev may visit the Goodwill Games, but a summit meeting is unlikely because of hotel shortages and security concerns, organizers said.

The idea of summit talks during the Olympics-style competition, which runs three weeks this summer, was mostly media hype, Goodwill Games Organizing Committee president Bob Walsh said.

The idea was raised by Sen. Slade Gorton, R-Wash., in a letter to Secretary of State Jim Baker. A Baker assistant later said the suggestion was under consideration.
