New Zealand Prime Minister David Lange said U.S. pressure against his anti-nuclear policy is aimed at replacing his government. Speaking during a visit to London, he said the United States “generally is seen” to be trying to have “the situation in New Zealand changed to a point where a government is elected that will welcome nuclear weapons into New Zealand.” He added, “The leader of the opposition has already declared his commitment to snuggling up to the bomb.” New Zealand has barred nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed vessels from its ports.
