A summit meeting this fall between President Reagan and Soviet Leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev remains uncertain, Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Anatoly L. Adamishin, said. Ending two days of talks with U.S. officials in Washington, Adamishin told reporters that a summit must “be productive” and that he does not think a lot of progress was achieved in the talks he just finished. A State Department official discounted Adamishin’s pessimism, saying that the Washington session was not to negotiate but to prepare for Secretary of State George P. Shultz’s scheduled Sept. 19-20 meeting with Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze.
