week by President Bush, the "open sky" idea any future in Europe?
do you think that has
FOR. MIN. DUMAS: It is certainly an idea that can have its place in measures designed to reduce tension. So I think it's an idea that should be placed in the context of overall disarmament.
Has President Mitterrand asked the United States to take a more aggressive or a different role in Lebanon?
SEC. BAKER: No.
There was a substantial discussion of the problems of Lebanon-between the two Presidents and, in fact, in the meetings that Minister Dumas and I had. I think it is correct to say that we both support the idea of an immediate ceasefire. We support the initiative of the Arab League. We support the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Lebanon. And we have great concern about what's going on there. We discussed at some length, and President Mitterrand discussed at some length, the fact that the United States and the Soviet Union, during the course of our ministerial last week in Moscow, were able to issue a joint statement with those same goals as the centerpiece of that statement.
Q
