Bush resents Soviets
announcing proposal
before summit starts
By CARL DAWSON
Staff writer
The Soviet Union's recent public announcement
of a new arms proposal is an attempt to mold public
opinion in the Western Alliance, Vice President
^ George Bush said Friday at USC.
W Bush said Soviet leaders are "setting public
preconditions that we clearly cannot meet."
Bush spoke in the Russell House Ballroom to a
group of about 400 students, university officials
and Western community representatives as part of a
three-day conference on the global crises and
challenges facing nations of the Western alliance.
During his 45-minute speech, Bush said the
Soviets "will find us determined and fair-minded
negotiators" if they make a serious proposal at the
Geneva talks, but warned the andienrp aoainct
Soviet "false advertising in arms negotiations."
"In the past year they have made several
? dramatic public announcements only to follow in
private with one-sided proposals or no serious proposals
at all. We hope that's not the case this time,"
Bush said.
The United States and the Soviet Union are
scheduled to meet next month in Geneva,
Switzerland, to discuss the bilateral reduction of
nuclear arsenals of both superpowers.
"We welcome this proposal, but we can't help
noticing that their private presentation comes more
than a full week after they first started discussing
the proposal in public." Bush said. "There have
? been press announcements, a speech at the U,N.
and statements relating to meetings with Secretary
Shultz and the President."
Bush said the climate for the Geneva talks will be
more affected by international events than political
rhetoric.

NATO's Carrinqton
says West won't be
pressured by Soviets
By KATHY LEWIS and MARY JO MILLER
Staff writers
The challenge presented by the Soviet Union to
Western Alliance values was the main topic at the
opening session of the Future of the Western Community
conference at USC this past weekend.
Lord Peter Carrington, secretary-general of
NATO, addressed USC student leaders, administration
and guests at a dinner Thursday night in the
Russell House Ballroom.
Lawrence Eagleburger, the conference chairman,
introduced Lord Carrington as a "Renaissance man
with magnificent diplomatic talents."
Lord Carrington spoke on the topic, "The Atlantic
Alliance ? The Challenges and the Prospects."
"Our challenge to the alliance is the feeling that
the geographical limitation of the North Atlantic
Treaty is inadequate, or even a source of
weakness," he said.
"The Soviet Union represents a global challenge,
and the values we seek to defend are shared by a
Western community wider than the Atlantic
Alliance."
But the answer is not membership expansion,
Lord Carrington said. "We have little choice but to
start from where we are."
Lord Carrington summarized NATO policy on
nuclear arms.
"First, to maintain an adequate nuclear capability

"Second, to retain the option ? and I emphasize
the word option ? of making a nuclear response to
a conventional attack so that a potential aggressor
can never be certain of the costs which he might inSea
