A U S spokesman said the talks should not be affected by the Sunday shooting death of a U S military officer by a Soviet soldier in East Germany.
Hairline cracks appear in eight of the 140 black granite panels of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Architects say the 1 to 6 inch lines are barely visible and pose no threat. Causes are undetermined but foundation sinking and external impact are ruled out. The $8.8 million monument honors 58,000 war dead and was designed by Maya Ying Lin.
General Electric expects to be indicted on charges of defrauding the government on nuclear warhead system contracts.

Indictment could affect current and future military contracts and reflects a four year federal probe.
General Dynamics announced the voluntary withdrawal of 23 million in overhead charges billed to the government from 1979 to 1982 as Congress and the Pentagon press for tighter controls. The action follows earlier disclosures of improper charges, including country club memberships and personal travel, amid ongoing industrywide scrutiny and a 30 day suspension of about 35 million in payments.
