  • Czech Leader Visits White House Today Cheney Visits Manila Bonfires
    The Daily Campus Serving the Storrs Community Since 1896 Vol.XCIIINo.81 The University of Connecticut Tuesday, February 20,1990 Czech leader visits White House today WASHINGTON (AP) — Vaclav Havel, the dissident playwright who went from prison to the presidency of Czechoslovakia inside of eight months, will meet with President Bush today, the first of Eastern Europe's new democratic leaders to visit the White House. Havel arrived here Monday evening after slops in Iceland and Canada on a Western trip that comes conspicuously a week before his first trip to Moscow. The Czech Parliament elected Havel president Dec. 29, a few weeks after a peaceful revolution led to the ouster of Communist Party chief Milos Jakes and his hardline government. Now the country, under Havel's caretaker government, is pre- paring for June 8th parliamentary elections that will be its first free balloting in more than 40 years. Havel has said he is coming West not to look for charity but investment in a country that already maintains a standard of living well above that of Poland, its neighbor to the north. "Czechoslovakia is not looking for U.S. aid. They arc not in the same economic dire straits that ... Poland has been in," a senior Bush administration official said. Secretary of State James A.
