CHRISTOPHER AND KOZYREV MEET AFTER UN SPEECH.

US Secretary of State Warren Christopher met with Russian foreign minister Andrei Kozyrev September 26 hours after the latter’s speech at the UN. Christopher briefed his Russian counterpart on NATO expansion plans, expressed confidence that "a proper role" could be found for Russia in implementing a possible Bosnia peace deal, and told Kozyrev that Moscow’s resistance to American demands that it end nuclear cooperation with Iran would be on the agenda when Presidents Yeltsin and Clinton meet in New York next month. Kozyrev pressed the US to allow more Russian banks to be licensed in this country, but, according to a senior American official quoted by Reuters, the Clinton administration insists that such institutions first comply with US legal

requirements.
