The proposed withdrawal of U.S. trooj
from Europe would "not be the right signal
to give to European members of the NAT
communitv. an Italian government officii
said at USC last week.
Italian Parliament member Adolf
Battaglia said a withdrawal would indical
an "incorrect" assumption about tl
European contribution to NATO.
Battaglia is ohe of four members of tt
Eurogroup, an informal advisory boc
within NATO, who came to campus la:
week to discuss the recent proposed wit
drawal of 23,000 U.S. soldiers from tl
300,000-member U.S. contingent to tl

countries contribute 90 percent of the lan
75 percent of the tactical air forces and
percent of the maritime forces, he said.

le These negotiations represent an effort by
ie the alliance to reduce conventional forces in
central Europe. Conventional forces include
infantry, tanks, artillery and tactical airt,
craft. The negotiations have not produced
