...settle annually in America and become citizens after five years of permanent residency. But last fiscal year, using emergency "parole" power, Attorney General Griffin Bell permitted entry of 18,000 Soviet Jews and 25,000 Indochinese. In March he announced another such parole: 25,000 Soviet and Eastern European refugees (mostly Jews) and 35,000 Indochinese will be allowed in by October. Bell is uncomfortable with such an improvised approach to refugee admissions. He strongly supports the Administration's proposed Refugee Act of 1979, sponsored in the Senate by Edward Kennedy, which will raise the normal refugee allotment...
...currently consists of four British-built submarines carrying Polaris A-3 missiles. The Conservatives want to expand the fleet to six, each carrying advanced Trident missiles bought from the U.S. Thatcher is so concerned over growing Soviet power that Tory strategists have considered the formation of a joint U.S.-European fleet based on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean...
Committed to ties with both the U.S. and Europe, but without any special affection for either, Thatcher in effect is something of a "British Gaullist." She would like to move away from European economic and monetary union but toward a single foreign and defense policy for the European Community.

...neutron bomb. We did not give enough support to President Carter on the neutron bomb. He was asking for European opinion, and European opinion was: "It is a matter for you." It was not wholly a matter for him. We should have said quite clearly, we believe this is the most effective antitank weapon we can have, and that it would be advisable from the viewpoint of Europe's defense to go ahead with it. He did not get the view in Europe that he was asking for. I think it's a greatpity. I think the Conservative...
...Britain and Europe. I think our support for the European Economic Community has been very halfhearted. You really cannot join any group of nations and spend all your time criticizing it. The E.E.C. is free Europe getting together. Had we some vision like that after the First World War, we might never have had the Second. We couldn't get the whole of Europe, but at least we've got half of Europe free. At least my son does not have to go and fight as his father had to fight. Surely that is the most valuable thing...
