Mr. Archie Hamilton

It is NATO's policy to pursue opportunities for dialogue with the East, and we welcome the commitment to greater co-operation implicit in the, as yet, undefined concept of a common European home. Any specific proposals for reducing the potential for confrontation, made in the conference on security and co-operation in Europe or other fora, will be given due consideration.
