Galvin added however that he was not opposed to such an Accord because the nato nations were planning to improve not Only the remaining nuclear forces in Europe but also their conventional weaponry. Without what he called a buttress in of ousting nato defences there wid be a higher risk than we in the West should accept Galvin said. He also stressed that a .-soviet Deal now being negotiated in Geneva would seriously reduce the soviet Union s flexibility in planning for the possible use of its remaining Arsenal of nuclear weapons in Europe. American and soviet negotiators Are seeking an agreement before the end of the year to dismantle All their in odium and Short Range nuclear weapons. A Lero Zero agreement will directly affect the theater based nuclear leg of nato s defences reducing significantly the military capabilities that Are part of the foundation of nato s deterrent Galvin said in a speech to a group of european diplomats at the Cen Ter for european policy studies. He replaced Gen. Bernard w. Rogers in late june As supreme Allied commander Europe and As chief of the .

There is no reluctance on my part in accepting the changes in the nuclear face off in Europe because i am confident that in buttressing the mix of remaining we will have kept our deterrent capability Galvin said. Among the defense improvements needed he said were the deployment of an improved Short Range Lance nuclear missile in Europe the development of a new air launched nuclear rocket improvements in nato aircraft ability to survive Warsaw pact air defences and a greater capability to deliver air strikes. Deep into enemy territory. He said Rogers had already recommended at of these improvements. Echoing one of Rogers favorite themes. Galvin said his main worry was not the possibility of a Warsaw pact at tack into Western Europe. "1 am More worried that the military balance particularly in the conventional area will so erode that the West will find itself vulnerable to soviet intimidation and coercion he said. At that Point the accumulation of soviet pressure on the Wisl would Force Galvin said that once negotiations Are completed on removing the medium and Short Range nuclear missiles nato should insist on focusing attention in other arms control areas including conventional forces chemical weapons and intercontinental nuclear missiles. Nato has not formally decided How far it would be willing to go in reducing theater based nuclear weapons. The Ger Man government has expressed support for seeking a .-Soviel Deal to reduce the number of Battlefield or very Short Range nuclear weapons.

Mcgovern labels North a disgrace to the uniform says he violated Laws Bye Dukavis staff writer Munich former democratic presidential candidate George Mcgovern predicted Marine col. Oliver North would be a temporary hero to the Ameri can Public and Laid he regretted Gary Hart s political demise i am not one who shares this Admira Tion for colonel North Mcgovey said in an interview wednesday. I think he s a disgrace to the uniform. I think he i a disgrace for the Way he handled his office in the White House and he has violated american Laws. That is not my View of How a Marine ought to function nor the Way an employee of the american government ought to it would be a painful Paradox if Oliver North emerges As a Folk hero after breaking Federal Laws All Over the place and violating a constitutional oath and lying about All this Mcgovey said while Hart who has never broken any Laws that i know of has never violated the Constitution it driven from Public Hart who withdrew from the 1988 race for the democratic presidential nomination in May ran Mcgovey s presidential Campaign in 1972. As he himself said he used bad judgment in putting himself into this position Mcgovey said of the former Colorado senator. It s too bad because it s a diversion from the Central issues facing the Mcgovey also discussed the a Flag Ging of kuwaiti Oil tankers and the Iran Iraq War on the last Day of his summer lectures on political science at Munich s Ludwig Maximilian University. The whole scandal associated with the Sale of arms to the terrorist govern ment of Iran and then the illegal diver Sion of fund to Swiss Bank accounts through these Wheeler dealer arms salesmen and so on has badly damaged the popularity and the standing of the Reagan administration he said. Mcgovey said Kuwait and Iraq were playing the United states against the so Viet Union to their advantage. He said Congress should re Vamp the War Powers act to keep the president from engaging . Troops abroad with out congressional approval. He called the persian Gulf crisis an outgrowth of the Iran Iraq War which he described As stupid and self defeating and the plaything of two Cranky old the . Action of flagging kuwaiti tankers with american Flag and escort ing them for Protection was premature Mcgovey said we should never resort to measures of that kind that involve the commit ment of american forces at a time when you have a diplomatic initiative just be ginning he said. Mcgovey said the United nations Resolution calling for a cease fire in the Region is the real answer to the prob Lem if it fails an airtight arms embargo must follow he said. The soviet presence in the Gulf is the worst of All reasons to Send american ships into the persian Gulf. But the worst possible basis upon which to form american foreign policy and american defense commitments is to do it simply because they want to keep up with the russians on a particular operation the United slates at Long last 1 would Hope ought to have the common sense to say we will do something if it s in our National interest and the interest of peace. We re not going to do some thing simply because the russians have decided to do it Mcgovern also said he did not agree with the administration s Assumption that the troubles in Nicaragua and Cen trial America Are caused by the soviets and cubans. It s my own View that if All the cubans and russians disappeared today we d still have trouble in Nicaragua and Central America. The reason is that those on entries have been to Grimy miso verned. The Somoza gang that controlled Nicaragua for nearly $0 Yean were bad news for the people of Nicaragua and eventually they the people got organized behind the sandinista and replaced them. We Rax ignited the sandinista government and maintain an embassy there but on the other hand we try everything possible to sabotage it Amer Cami Don t understand Tail and neither do most of our allies in Mcgovern Taid he was disappointed that the Middle East problem i do being discussed More. We re not really pressing hard in an even handed Way for a solution to the israeli Arab palestinian conflict. I worry about thai conflict because i think it a the potential of escalating into a major War including the use of nuclear weapons. If Ihal happens. World War 111 could emerge jul As the biblical Prophet talked about in the Shadow of armageddon. If we re going to accept the role of the Honor broker in the Middle East which is the Rale i think we should play we cannot Side with one Side or the other. You have to be fair. You have to recognize he israeli claim to existence u a free and Independent country but just As important we have to recognize the plan Finiani claim fur 4 Homeland of their
