A.N.Z.U.S. comment official’s opinion
PA Wellington A Reagan Administration official in Washington was reflecting a personal opinion when he said New Zealand could not rejoin the A.N.Z.U.S. alliance under National’s nuclear policy, according to the United States Embassy in Wellington. The ruling Republican Party’s chief counsel for the influential Congress Foreign Affairs Committee, Mr David Addington, was quoted in “The Dominion Sunday Times” as saying a return to
A.N.Z.U.S. would require the same conditions that apply to Australia. f The embassy said in a statement yesterday that Mr Addington was not an official spokesman for the United, States Government. .4“His comments on A.N.Z.U.S. or any other matter represent purely his personal views.” The embassy said the official Government position was “to refrain from comment on this or any other matter” at issue in the New Zealand election campaign.
