WASHINGTON--Former Soviet Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze is planning to visit the United States in May, his first visit since he resigned last December, according to documents obtained yesterday by The Associated Press.
Shevardnadze plans to arrive on May 4 and visit Washington, Chicago, New York, Boston, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, San Francisco, Miami and Minneapolis, according to a memo prepared by Nancy Soderberg, the chief foreign policy adviser to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy '54-'56 (D-Mass.).
Kennedy earlier this week invited Shevardnadze to a formal dinner at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston on May 10. According to the memo by Soderberg, Shevardnadze is planning to deliver the commencement address at Boston University on Sunday May 12.
Boston University spokesperson Kevin Carleton would neither confirm nor deny that Shevardnadze will deliver the commencement speech. He said the university would announce its speaker on Monday.
