Announcement welcomed
The Anti-Bases Campaign has welcomed the announcement by the Prime Minister, Mr Lange, that New Zealand might formally withdraw from A.N.Z.U.S. A spokesman, Mr Murray Horton, said the campaign now looked forward to the closing of American military bases in New Zealand, “especially Harewood and Black Birch.” Noting the comment in Mr Lange’s Anzac Day speech that intelligence links
between New Zealand and the United States had been cut, Mr Horton asked why the Government was still going ahead with the Waihopai satellite communications interception station. The campaign looked forward to the cessation of work on the station, which was intended to service United States intelligence needs, said Mr Horton. The group planned another protest at the Waihopai Site on the week-end of May 6 and 7, he said.
