- 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.
