N-freeze call fails to thaw Reagan
NZPA Washington; President Ronald Reagan said yesterday that he , would not support a House ; of Representatives resolu- j tion calling for a “mutual j and verifiable freeze” on ' American and Soviet | nuclear arsenals, despite a : modification won by his i supporters. He said that he was confi- • dent that if the resolution was debated in the Senate, j “the doubts and opposition I to a simple freeze . . . will continue to grow.” I “The resolution finally ; adopted by the House, while 1 greatly improved, is not an | answer to arms control that ; I can responsibly support,” said Mr Reagan.
The nuclear freeze vote ' has been described as a , significant vote for sanity, ; by New Zealand’s Opposi- j tion’s spokesman for foreign : affairs, Bill Rdwling. j
“The 278 to 149 vote ' clearly reflects the growing | awareness and concern of ; the American people,” said i Mr Rowling. “Big powers or i not, they know they cannot ■ continue down the nuclear j road.” ,
