GRAPEVINE, Page 11NOT SO FAST, HELMUT AND KIICHI
By JANICE CASTRO/Reported by Wendy Cole
Nuclear proliferation and peacekeeping efforts top the
official agenda for the Manhattan summit meeting next week of
the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council. But the
real reason that Britain, which currently heads the council,
called the summit is to resolve the question of who controls the
Soviet Union's seat. Germany and Japan have been pressing for
permanent membership, and there have been calls for a European
Community seat. British Prime Minister JOHN MAJOR wants neither
to expand the membership nor to dilute Britain's influence by
adding the E.C. vote. Major's solution: lock up Yeltsin's claim
to a seat for Russia as quickly as possible.
