On foreign policy, the Socialists balked at pledging "fidelity" to NATO but settled for "loyalty" to the Atlantic Alliance and agreement to continue discussions with the U.S. over Italian participation in MLF, the proposed fleet of Polaris-equipped surface ships. In return for accepting anti-Communist Social Democrat Guiseppe Saragat as Foreign Minister, Premier-designate Moro promised the Socialists that he would engage in a "passionate pursuit of peace"-a semantic exercise which seemed to be satisfactory to everyone.
