YELTSIN’S TRIP TO CHECHNYA UNLIKELY FOR NOW.

President Boris Yeltsin’s professed wish to visit Chechnya before the June 16 presidential election date was shot down for security reasons at yesterday’s weekly session of the government commission for Chechnya settlement, chaired by Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin. The three "power" ministers and the Russian command in Chechnya also went public in advising that they could not guarantee Yeltsin’s safety except on the two Russian military bases near Grozny.
