BONN, West Germany (AP) - West
Germany said yesterday it hopes a
follow-up meeting of the 1975 Helsinki
agreement in November produces a
"substantial mandate" for a European
disarmament conference.
Foreign Minister Hans- Dietrich
Genscher noted that France and War-
saw Pact members have made several
proposals for a European arms control
conference, which would include the
United States, Canada, and most
European nations.
"WE ARE examining in a construc-
tive spirit the proposals of the states of
the Warsaw Pact for such a conferen-
ce," Genscher said at a dinner honoring
Romanian Foreign Minister Stefan An-
drei.
"We would welcome it ifa substantial
mandate for the convening of such a
conference could be agreed upon at the
Helsinki follow-up conference in
Madrid."
The Soviet-led alliance issued its first
call last year following a foreign
ministers meeting in Budapest. Polish
Communist Party leader Edward
Gierek renewed the call last February
and offered Warsaw as a site for the
conference.
WARSAW PACT heads of state also
proposed on May 15 a world conference
to settle "international hotbeds of ten-
sion.
Signers of the Helsinki agreement on
security and cooperation in Europe will
meet in Madrid in November to review
progress in implementing the act,
which pledges human rights for all
citizens.
Thirty-five countries, including the
United States, the Soviet Union,
Canada, and all European nations ex-
cept Albania, signed the pact.
GENSCHER PRAISED Romania for
its role in helping to reduce tensions in
Europe. He appealed to Warsaw Pact
nations to study seriously proposals
made by the Atlantic Alliance in
December for reducing tensions on the
continent.
West German Chancellor Helmut
Schmidt, campaigning last month in
the North Rhine-Westphalia state elec-
tions, proposed that NATO and the
Warsaw Pact agree to suspend
deployment of new nuclear missiles in
Central Europe to allow time for
negotiating a reduction in such
weapons. His Social Democratic Party,
stressing its support of East-West
detente, won the elections.
On other issues, Genscher welcomed
worldwide efforts to secure a Soviet
withdrawal from Afghanistan, in par-
ticular those "by states in the region."
