Soviets Begin Polish Military Exercises Amid Polish Labor Unrest
Warsaw Pact forces began Soyuz 81 maneuvers in Poland and neighboring states as Trybuna Ludu and Tass announced the exercises. In Poland, a three day sit in by about 160 farmers seeking Rural Solidarity and a lumber workers strike alert added to the domestic tensions. Haig said the maneuvers were within limits and avoided large scale border crossings while warning against excessive Soviet intervention. The report notes limited troop estimates and cautious U.S. reaction amid the labor crisis.
