...other promises, the intent to ban port calls by nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed vessels. The proscription applied to all foreign shipping, but it really meant U.S. naval vessels. At first it appeared that the matter could be compromised or finessed without great difficulty. U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz told Lange in Wellington last July that the U.S. would refrain from sending any naval vessels to New Zealand ports for six months or more.

It was contained in a document made public by Paul Nitze, 78, special arms-control adviser to Shultz and President Reagan, outlining the "strategic concept" behind proposals that Kampelman will present in Geneva. The U.S., the statement said, "should seek a radical reduction in the number and power of existing and planned offensive and defensive nuclear arms, whether land-based, space-based or otherwise...
