Cheney, Polish premier discuss missile defense
None
Poland's prime minister spoke with Vice President Dick Cheney on Thursday to discuss negotiations over basing American missile defense interceptors in Poland, a government spokesman said.
The phone conversation took place a day after officials announced a tentative agreement had been reached in Washington this week. That moved President Bush closer to his goal of a global defense shield, but Polish authorities took pains Thursday to stress the deal was not final. (AP)
