IOC chief offers Carter Brezhnev meeting over Moscow Games
IOC President Lord Killanin proposed face-to-face talks with President Carter and Soviet leader Brezhnev to salvage the Moscow Summer Games amid a multi-country boycott threat. USOC secretary Miller eyed talks with 19 athletes suing the committee, who allege pressure from the Carter administration led to the boycott. China warned it would not send athletes unless Soviet troops withdraw from Afghanistan by May 24, and West Germany urged a boycott while Japan favored participation in principle.
