RUSSIA : Yeltsin Cancels Meeting With Gore
- Share via
President Boris N. Yeltsin canceled a planned meeting with U.S. Vice President Al Gore and has gone on vacation for two weeks, a presidential spokesman said. Another aide said Yeltsin will spend his holiday in a sanatorium near Moscow to “restore his health.” Yeltsin, 65, has not made any public appearances since shortly after the June 16 first round of the presidential election, although he has been shown several times on television. The cancellation of the meeting with Gore clearly caught U.S. officials by surprise. Members of Gore’s staff and embassy officials had already arrived at the Kremlin for the morning meeting.
