Netherlands of dutch Parli Amoni rams a riday said they w int to hear top nato officials explain Alliance contingency plans for launching nuclear cruise missiles from the nether lands despite the officials earlier refusal to appear before parliament. At the conclusion of a parliamentary committee hearing on the Legal aspects of cruise deployment. Socialist party chair Man Reclus tar Beck said dutch lawmakers would travel to Brussels if necessary to hear nato commander Gen. Bernard Rogers and Secretary general lord car ringtone. At Issue is whether the Netherlands under current nato procedure will have a say in any decision to launch cruise mis Siles from dutch soil. The labor party opposition which is staunchly opposed to deployment claims that without dutch authority the . Dutch deployment treaty under consideration might violate inc dutch Constitution. And any deployment treaty requiring a constitutional change is unlikely to pass parliament which has the final say on the 1988 missile deployment approved nov. I by the Center right government of Premier Ruud Lubbers. In the draft treaty for the american owned and manned missiles there is a pro vision that the . Government would give special consideration to the views of the dutch government if possible before any launch of the missiles.

Vladimir Leonteva 43, pretended to Black out nov. 16 after his rented moped collided with two cars in London. Twelve Days ago he emerged from his seeming slumber briefly to ask for Cotton pyjamas Wool blankets cooking equipment and a girl to read to him in English preferably from a work by lord Byron. Leonteva was ruling comfortably Friday at a Hospital in the Northern port of Calais where he was transported thursday under police surveillance. He was sent to France after French police said they would like to question him about customs violations. Police found 278,500 francs on a Conte when he was involved in the Accident.

Leonteva still feigned unconsciousness when he was carried into the ambulance and ferried across the English Channel. To Cut the Cost of entitlements you have to Cut strength he said. Whether the cuts could Force troop layoffs depends at least in part on How much Federal spending Congress approves. Negotiators from the House and Senate were in conference Friday Over a Bill to set this year s spending Levels for half a dozen government agencies including the defense department. Until that measure is signed Pentagon planners won t know the Baseline from which to consider cuts. Automatic cuts from the level the Senate approved tuesday could leave the defense department with nearly 10 percent less than the j275.4 Bil lion it had to spend last year. Sims said Weinberger has not decided whether it would be better to reduce forces and improve their readiness or to spread the Cost of the cuts Over a larger Force. If Reagan chooses to protect defense personnel this year he will have to find half of the needed si2 billion savings by cutting other defense accounts by this Spring. In succeeding years the Law lakes away the discretion to protect personnel or other favored programs. The Law Calls for automatic across the Board cuts.
