Peace meeting aims to seed Soviet American ties in Kansas
Soviet historian Robert Ivanov and U S co chair Bob Swan describe the October 12 18 meeting in Lawrence as the first large Soviet American gathering since the Cold War end. About 250 Soviets from all republics will stay with American families and visit six Kansas cities to discuss business trade agriculture health energy and the environment. The event coincides with Eisenhower centennial celebrations and a ceremony in Abilene at Eisenhower boyhood home. Ivanov insists the effort seeks concrete results in people to people diplomacy beyond leaders.
