Republicans plan a major tribute at the GOP convention in New York to Ronald Reagan, but they could pay a high political price for Nancy Reagan's participation, GOP sources said yesterday.

"It's going to be a clear and solemn tribute, a significant tribute" to Reagan when the Republicans meet at Madison Square Garden in August to renominate President Bush, said a GOP official.

Plans for the convention salute already were being discussed with the Reagan family. "We're talking to them," the official said.

At the last GOP convention, in Philadelphia four years ago, the delegates watched a moving photo montage tribute to Reagan, followed by a brief appearance by Mrs. Reagan.

But her appearance this summer could come with a price tag. Mrs. Reagan has made no secret of her disagreement with Bush's limits on stem cell research for a possible cure for Alzheimer's disease, which robbed her husband of his memory in the last 10 years of his life.
