FORD-DIPLOMACY
BY FRANCES LEWINE
WASHINGTON (AP) -- SINGAPORE'S PRIME MINISTER LEE KUAN YEW HAS
ADVISED THE UNITED STATES THAT CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT MUST SPEAK
IN UNISON ON FOREIGN POLICY TO RESTORE WORLD CONFIDENCE FOLLOWING WHAT
HE CALLED "AN UNMITIGATED DISASTER'' IN VIETNAM AND CAMBODIA.
LEE, HEAD OF A LEADING NON-COMMUNIST SOUTHEAST ASIAN ISLAND NATION,
IS THE LATEST IN A SERIES OF FOREIGN HEADS OF STATE WHOM PRESIDENT
FORD HAS BEEN MEETING IN THE POST-VIEINAM PERIOD.
LEE TOOK THE OCCASION OF A TOAST AT A WHITE HOUSE STATE DINNER IN
HIS HONOR THURSDAY NIGHT TO SUGGEST WAYS THAT THE UNITED STATES COULD
RESTORE CONFIDENCE AMONG ITS ALLIES.
''IF THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS CAN SPEAK IN ONE VOICE ON BASIC
ISSUES OF FOREIGN POLICY, AND IN CLEAR AND UNMISTAKABLE TERMS, THEN
FRIENDS AND ALLIES WILL KNOW WHERE THEY STAND, AND OTHERS WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO PRETEND TO MISUNDERSTAND WHEN CROSSING THE LINE FROM
INSURGENCY INTO OPEN AGGRESSION," HE SAID. 'THEN, THE WORLD WILL SEE
LESS ADVENTURISM.
LEE WAS THE FIFTH FOREIGN LEADER FORD CONFERRED WITH THIS WEEK. FORD
IS GIVING PERSONAL REASSURANCES THAT THE UNITED STATES WILL STAND BY
ITS ALLIES AND KEEP ITS COMMITMENTS. THE EARLIER VISITORS WERE THE
PRIME MINISTERS OF BRITAIN, AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND AND THE SPEAKER
OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF SOUTH KORE
GM
LEE'S WAS THE ONLY STATE VISIT, HOWEVER, WHICH PROVIDED A DINNER
PARTY AND THE FORUM FOR A SPEECH BEFORE THE 112 VIP GUESTS.
FORD, ADMITTING THAT WE HAVE HAD A TRAGEDY IN INDOCHINA,"
PROMISED THAT THE UNITED STATES WOULD MEET ITS COMMITMENTS AND ''OUR
CONCERN FOR THE SECURITY AND FOR THE WELFARE OF FREE NATIONS IN
SOUTHEAST ASIA IS UNDIMINISHED.""
