http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp- srv/aponline/20010530/aponline133054_000.htm Powell, Ivanov Meet in Hungary By Tom Raum Associated Press Writer Wednesday, May 30, 2001; 1:30 p.m. EDT BUDAPEST, Hungary –– Secretary of State Colin Powell discussed U.S. plans for a national missile defense with Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov on Wednesday but didn't outline any new incentives to make the plan more palatable to Moscow. .... Powell and Ivanov met for about half an hour on the sidelines of the final day of a two-day NATO meeting. Ivanov and Powell also talked about the Middle East, Afghanistan, and efforts by the United States and Britain to win Russian support for a series of sanctions on Iraq. The current phase of the U.N. humanitarian "oil-for-food" program expires on June 3. So far, Russia has opposed proposed revisions in the sanctions program sought by the United States and Britain. No agreement was reached in Budapest, but Boucher said Powell was hopeful that an agreement could be reached by negotiators at the United Nations in New York before the deadline. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a discussion list run by the Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq For removal from list, email soc-casi-discuss-request@lists.cam.ac.uk Full details of CASI's various lists can be found on the CASI website: http://www.casi.org.uk
