International A shift in Reagan foreign policy could keep alive the possibility Soviet-American summit meeting, the Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev indicated. He told journalists during a visit to Potsdam in East Germany that if the Reagan Administration altered a foreign policy course that he said was poisoning the international atmosphere, the summit meeting might still be held this year. He responded to questions about whether the American air raids on Libya might kill plans for a second meeting with President Reagan. After the raids, Moscow canceled meetings in Washington that were to lay the groundwork for a summit meeting.

'STAR WARS' PACT DISCLOSURE UPSETS BONN
Date: 20 April 1986

Chancellor Helmut Kohl's Government has been embarrassed by the disclosure to the press of a secret accord governing West Germany's industrial role in the Reagan Administration's research program on antimissile defenses. On Friday, the Cologne tabloid Express published the text of the accord, which was signed in Washington on March 27 by West Germany's Economics Minister, Martin Bangemann, and Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger. The newspaper and an energy newsletter also plan to publish copies of accompanying letters to the agreements on research on the program commonly known as ''Star Wars.'' As with a similar memorandum of understanding reached with Britain in December, the Pentagon had requested that the text be kept secret. Well-placed American officials said this was because the Pentagon will be negotiating such understandings with several countries and did not want to weaken its bargaining leverage by disclosures of what had been conceded to other countries.

After more than a year of false starts, NBC has decided to put a reshaped, retitled version of the prime-time news program ''American Almanac'' on its fall schedule, according to network executives. The program, with Roger Mudd and Connie Chung as chief correspondents, has been on and off the NBC schedule since last summer as its Washington-based staff tried to develop a style that network management deemed worthy of broadcast. ''American Almanac'' was aired on a monthly basis through the fall and winter and the network had announced that it would get a permanent place on NBC's prime-time lineup in January. But the program was delayed, partly because news executives said it wasn't ready for airing, and partly because the time slot made available for the show by NBC's entertainment division, Saturday night at 10 o'clock, was deemed an unsuitable time for the debut of a news program.
