Ronald Reagan promised during his campaign in 1980 to honor Solzhenitzen by inviting him to the White House. Didn’t happen. Does anybody know why?

Solzhenitsyn was invited to lunch at the White House in 1982, The lunch included other dissidents, but Solzhenitsyn was to have a preliminary meeting with Reagan. Solzhenitsyn turned down the invitation.

Wow, that's too bad.
