Lawson 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 alliance. inn. utnuk oinciais are jonn uuoei assistant chief of the United Kingdom defense staff; Teoman Sorenkok, depu chief of the Turkish mission to NATO; ai Claude Memmer, cabinet chief of tl LiiixemDourg ministry 01 ueiense. Gilbert said "there was confusion in tl United States" concerning the numbers U.S. forces stationed in Europe. Europe; countries contribute 90 percent of the lan 75 percent of the tactical air forces and percent of the maritime forces, he said. During the 1970s, real spending (above tl rate of inflation) on defense by we European governments increased 2 percer while U.S. spending decreased 1 percer During the same decade, the United Stat provided only 32,000 of the 205,000 addition fpAAno Kiulffolaf) fnr TJ ATA onirl vi Muu^vivu ivi A %/) vxtivci ? oaiu* Gilbert said restationing the troops In tl ACCOl DISCC Arv * rrf- vvv^i# ' IL " .
