Reagan may broaden grain embargo to Soviet Union says advisers
Washington sources report agricultural experts predicting President Reagan will widen rather than lift the embargo unless Moscow offers concessions. Reagan, after cabinet talks and meetings with 16 farm groups, signaled no decision and stressed foreign policy in weighing the embargo.
