The framework agrédiient was! ‘finally” ‘conclisded
Thursday at a private signing ceremony in Washington and
vas announced: ‘without: ‘Warning: in- the : Commons’ by’

- External Affairs. Minister Allan MacEachen.

. The announcement: prompted denurciations from New
Democrat MPs and disarmament: groups across: the
country and touched off plans for protest Gemonstratlocis
over the next several days. .

- ‘The agreement sets the stage for talks ona separate pact,

; expected to begin shortly, governing the proposed cruise,

_ tests. They are slated for early 1984 at a: weapons range

near the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. i~

The defence agreement, completed in. December, gives .

Canada the right to. refuse any specific U.S. request,

MacKEachen emphasized at a news ‘conference doniinated |
_ by queries about the government's comrattment: to cruise

- testing.

“Who- likes these missiles? T certainly don't,” he -said
when asked about the controversy the issue has provoked.

But he urged the public not to judge the issue in isolation.
without also considering Canada's commitment to. NATO,
the western military . alliance, and .the importance of
western unity in arms is control negotiations with the Soviet
Union. ”"

__ NATO has decided to deploy nuclear tipped versions of |
-the missile in western ' ‘Europe late this year as a’ coun-

terweight to Soviet Missiles failing a negotiated arms
reduction. treaty with. Moscow. |

Other systems that could be tested under the five-year .

agreement include artillery equipment, surveillance and

identification :systems, ‘advanced non-nuclear munitions a

and aircraft navigation systems.

But the framework agreement rules out testing of any
nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and Bives
Canada control over operations. ;

 MacEachen said Canada and ils allies would prefer not to
deploy the cruise and Pétshing 2 missiles but the continued

expansion of Soviet missiles targeted at Western Europe

_ cannot be ignored.

_Asked whether Ottawa intended to we e the crulse tests to
apply leverage on Washington to bargain earnestly at the
Geneva arms reduction talks, the. minister replied: ‘1

would net rule out at this stage the matter of relating the —

negotiations to the tes'

He stressed the importance of the talks, saying Canada is
following them closely and-will be in regular contact with
the U.S. about the western negotlating strategy,

Meanwhile, disarmament groups are planning protests in
numerous cities across Canada this week. Vancouver-based
