Description:
This stenographic transcript of the meeting of the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party deals with a recent Political Consultative Committee (PCC) meeting where the rights and prerogatives of the Warsaw Pact supreme commander in wartime were discussed. As this record shows, Romania continues to oppose the ideas of a wartime resolution. Romanian leader Nicolae Ceauşescu argues that there is no trend toward war and demands cuts in military spending. The Romanian side criticizes the Soviet military establishment and objects to the obligation of member states to bear the costs of Moscow's security policy. Collection: A Cardboard Castle?
