A Soviet statement said the meeting, planned for May 14-16 in Washington between Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze and U.S. State Secretary George Shultz, had become impossible to hold because of the air strikes against Libya. The White House said it regretted the Soviet move and questioned Moscow's sin cerity in dealing with super power issues.
