Can I reference a Shared Project from a .NET Standard Library?

It looks like .NET Standard Libraries cannot add a Shared Project as a reference.

I created a .NET Standard 1.4 Library and am trying to reference an existing Shared Library from the the .NET Standard Library.

But, the code in the Shared Libary doesn't inherit any of the System libraries from my .NET Standard Libary.

For example, the below code produces this error message:

The type of namespace name 'System' could not be found...

using System;

namespace SharedProject1
{
    ...
}

I am currently running Visual Studio 15.3.0 Preview 2.1
