NATION : Reagan Cites Surgery, Cancels Talk
- Share via
RENO — Former President Ronald Reagan has canceled a scheduled appearance here, his first since undergoing skull surgery, after his doctors ordered him not to travel, a state Republican leader said today.
“The President called (former Sen.) Paul Laxalt this morning and said his doctor’s orders precluded his appearance,” according to Mike Dayton, executive director of the Nevada Senate Republican Leadership Conference.
Reagan was scheduled to speak Monday at the California Grocers Assn. annual convention here.
It would have been his first address since he underwent surgery Sept. 8 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., to drain fluid that had accumulated on his brain after he was thrown from a horse July 4.
