WASHINGTON — President Reagan wants to meet with Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev in the United States this year regardless of whether there is progress in the arms control talks at Geneva, the White House said today, and sees no reason why a date for the summit can’t be set.
Presidential spokesman Larry Speakes, commenting on Gorbachev’s statement of Tuesday that the timing of the summit hinges on an arms-control “understanding,” declared that such linkage “simply won’t work.”
