QUESTION
You said that you supported researchfor space weapons
and deployment would have to be negotiated. A lot of people
in this country think President Reagan supports both, research
and deployment. Did he give you any indication that he would
be opposed to the deployment of weapons at some point?
PRIME MINISTER
Look! I agreed these four points with President Reagan.
Point number two says strategic defence initiative-related
deployment would, in view of treaty obligations, have to be a
matter for negotiation.
QUESTION
Did he indicate that he was opposed to deployment?
PRIME MINISTER
Look! I discussed these four points with the President
and he was quite happy that I should give these four points.
Now, they are pretty clear.
Do not make them fuzzy by putting
a gloss on them!
