...Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz flew to Paris on a multiple mission.

Reagan defended his approval of the Shanghai II communiqué against right-wing critics by pointing out that the U.S. promise to reduce arms sales to Taiwan was linked to China's commitment to peaceful resolution of the island's future.
