NATO Leaders End Summit With Nuclear Reduction Offer
NATO leaders wrapped up their summit in London proposing to eliminate all nuclear artillery shells from Europe in a reciprocal move with the Soviet Union. President Bush praised the shift as a turning point while signaling no rush to accept former Warsaw Pact states into NATO. The communique also backed talks to cut non-nuclear forces in Europe and set troop limits, with U S forces to remain in Britain and southern Europe. An invitation was extended to Gorbachev and Warsaw Pact leaders to visit NATO, likely in December.
