Washington - President Reagan endorsing the suggestion that disgruntled members of the United Nations are free to leave New York, said on Wednesday that perhaps they should consider splitting their sessions between the Soviet Union and the United States.
"Maybe all those delegates should have six months in the United Nations meeting in Moscow and then six months in New York, and it would give them an opportunity to see two ways of life." the president said in a news conference with broadcasters at the White House.
Reagan, answering questions, said Charles M. Lichenstein, a U.S. delegate, spoke for most Americans when he suggested that the United Nations should consider moving the world organization's headquaters if members are dissatisfied with U.S. hospitality.
"IK think the gentleman who spoke the other day had the hearty approval of most people in America in his suggestion that we weren't asking anyone to leave, but if they chose to leave, goodbye." Reagan said.
The president's remarks were somewhat surprising, since Larry Speakers, the White House spokesman, and State Department officials had emphasized that Lichenstein was presenting a personal view that was not adminstration policy.
Lichenstein had told dissatisfied U.N. members to "seriously consider" removing the organization. "We will be at dockside bidding you a farewell as you set off into the sunset." he declared.
The controversy over the hose nation's obligations at the United Nations is an aspect of worsening U.S.-Soviet relations after a Soviet Su-15 shot down a Korean Air Lines 747 as it flew over Soviet airspace. All 269 people abroad the Korean plane were killed.
After the shooting down of the plane, Foreign Minister Andrwi A. Gromyko of the Soviet Union was denied permission to land at either Kennedy International Airport or Newark International Airport in order to attend the U.N. General Assembly. Gromyko, in turn announced he would not attend the session, and the Soviet Union accused the United States of violating its treaty oligations as host.
In the midst of the dispute, the WHite House on Wednesday outlined plans for Reagan's U.N. visit Sunday and Monday, including a reception for heads of government and foreign ministers that apparently will not include Soviet representatives.
Speakes said that, with Gromyko planning to be absent, the chief of the Soviet delegation would not be entitled to attend, under the general terms of the invitation.
Reagan is scheduled to address the General Assembly Monday morning and he is expected to speak on a number of global issues, including new instructions he has authorized for negotiators at the talks in Geneva on limiting medium-range missiles.
