Haig vows fair pacts with Moscow amid stronger US posture
Secretary Haig told the American Bar Association in New Orleans that the Reagan administration seeks fair agreements with the Soviet Union and could offer reduced tensions, diplomatic alternatives to violent change, arms control pacts, and Western trade if Moscow shows restraint and reciprocity. He argued stronger U S military strength and alliances would encourage Soviet moderation while recognizing the costs of future conflict. He outlined four pillars of policy including rebuilding American strength, renewing alliances, peaceful change, and advancing Soviet restraint and reciprocity. He urged competition to protect freedom while pursuing cooperation to avoid a global catastrophe.
