NATO votes to support 'Star Wars' research
United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO — NATO legislators representing U.S. allies in Europe voted overwhelming yesterday to support research into President Reagan's "Star Wars" defense program.
Delegates to the annual meeting of the North Atlantic Assembly voted 91 in favor of a resolution supporting the "Star Wars" project, 12 against the measure and 28 abstaining.
In Brussels, Belgium, Secretary of State George Shultz told NATO partners that the United States would not go beyond research into space defense systems without consulting its allies and negotiating with the Soviet Union.
During the debate in San Francisco, scattered opponents said the U.S. program might endanger the existing treaties prohibiting the military use of space.
After briefing a NATO council on President Reagan's meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev next month, Shultz said there was "universal happiness at hearing of the president's reaffirmation of his intention to keep our Strategic Defense Initiative program within the confines of a relatively narrow interpretation of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty."
Shultz said it could be argued that
the 1972 ABM treaty allowed a much broader range of testing and development than the government had planned with "Star Wars."
"Within the confines of a narrow definition of the treaty, the president feels it will be possible to answer the question. 'Is it possible to defend Israel?' The answer to that essentially research question is yes." Shultz said.
He said that would bring about extensive consultation and negotiation with U.S. allies and with the Soviet Union.
On his consultations with allies about the Nov. 19-20 Reagan-Gorbachev summit in Geneva, Shultz said, "We all hope for an East-West relationship . . . that is a more constructive ope.
"I was able to assure my friends that the United States and the president would be working toward that end, and if we found a sense of reciprocity on the Soviet side, perhaps, who knows, something good might come of it."
Shultz said the United States put "a sweeping proposal on the table" early in the first round of the arms control talks in Geneva, Switzerland. He welcomed the latest Soviet counter-proposals, saying some things in them were unacceptable, others were interesting.
The NATO legislators' resolution
urges members to support U.S. research on space defense and encourages "agreement between the Soviet Union and the United States on the technical definitions of the forms of research permissible under terms of the ABM treaty."
The measure was proposed by Sen. Charles Mathias, R-Md., and John Cartwright, a Social Democrat from Woolwich, England.
The resolution emphasized compliance with the existing ABM treaty banning tests in space.
The Soviets have demanded that the United States abandon its Strategic Defense Initiative, a multibillion dollar research effort to develop a defensive shield that can shoot down incoming missiles in space. President Reagan insists he will not scrap the project, commonly known as "Star Wars."
