MOSCOW : The Yeltsin Agenda

President Boris N. Yeltsin is scheduled to give his first Russian version of a State of the Union address on Friday, as required by the country’s newly adopted constitution.

Looking for widespread acceptance, he has invited lawmakers from both houses of Parliament, members of his Cabinet, leaders of all the republics in the Russian Federation, foreign ambassadors and the press to hear the speech in the Kremlin’s Marble Hall.

The president is expected to lay out his legislative and political agenda for the first time since he crushed a revolt by hard-line lawmakers last October. His administration is taking special pains to cultivate the new Parliament, but early indications suggest that the Duma, or lower house, may prove as hostile to Yeltsin as the Supreme Soviet he dissolved.
