before its start. He said that
“expectations and in
terest” in the talks are
“most vivid.”
“In view of the meeting,”
the pope said, “I have sent a
personal message to the
Pope John Paul II
two personalities, express
ing hope that from their
talks will come the basis for
the development of a
dialogue which overcomes
mistrust, banishes the risk
of war and favors peace, in
a context of fairness and
justice.”

“no one can hide from the
difficulties” faced in
reaching agreement “on
the problems to be examin

tercession of Mary, queen
of peace and mother of good
counsel” for a successful
summit.
The message to President

through U.S. Ambassador
to the Holy See William
Wilson, who received it
Nov. 16 and “immediately
cabled it to President
Reagan in Geneva,” em
bassy spokesman William
Barnes said Nov. 17.
The president and Mrs.

to ease “suspicion and
mistrust” between the
superpowers.
Before the summit,

ficials said the president
would propose a joint state

arsenals. The officials said
Reagan would consider it
an important achievement
even if reduction levels are
not specified.
Pope John Paul repeated

honest dialogue and sincere
negotiations based on
mutual respect, coupled

partners.”
He added that those who
seek peace “will seek to
diminish the weapons
whose existence in great
numbers strikes fear into
people’s hearts.”
