West Berlin Visit Signals U S Resolve to Protect Rights
Secretary of Defense Clark M. Clifford plans a West Berlin visit this week to remind the Soviet Union of U S determination to safeguard Western rights in the encircled city. He will attend a NATO planning group meeting in Bonn and then inspect U S armed forces in Berlin, a 100 mile gap inside East Germany. The trip follows a hardening U S stance after the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia and threats to West Germany and West Berlin. NATO foreign ministers’ meeting in Brussels was moved up to November to consider steps to stiffen the alliance. A U S reconissance squadron deployment to Germany is seen as a signal of increased American military power there.
