Haig resigns amid ideological clashes over Falklands veto and gas pipeline
Washington reports say Alexander Haig's departure stemmed from clashes with colleagues over three issues. He faced U N debate handling on the Falklands crisis, opposition to the Siberia-West Europe gas pipeline, and policy discord on Israel's Lebanon invasion with calls for arms suspensions. Haig argued for cautious restraint to maintain influence with European allies and trusted Reagan assurances.
