BRENDON BURNS,
political reporter New Zealanders had made up their minds to remain nuclear-free, said the Prime Minister, Mr Lange, yesterday. He was responding to a speech in New York by the American Ambassador to New Zealand, Mr Paul Cleveland, who said the break in the defence ties had substantially diminished the United StatesNew Zealand relationship and his reality had to be faced in trying to rebuild
the relationship. Mr Lange said the reality was that nuclear weapons were no longer permitted in New Zealand. “The United States has chosen to respond to this policy by ending defence ties.” New Zealand was willing to resume a conventional non-nuclear defence relationship. “New Zealanders have made up their minds. New Zealand must remain nuclear-free,” Mr Lange said.
