A8 i THE WINDSOR STAR, MONDA APRIL 6, 1987 Reagan makes concession on acid rain blame breakthroughs on any issues at this summit, but have emphasized regular meetings are useful to keep lines of communication open, Not all of the day was spent seriously. During remarks at a late-night state dinner at Governor General Jeanne Sauve's official residence, Reagan drew laughter when he identified American wine as one thing Canadians could enjoy more freely if the trade talks succeed. "Let's look forward to the day when our California wines, toasted the world over, are available throughout Canada without hindrance for your dining delight, just as Molsons Ale is available to every American table," he said. The congenial mood of the dinner champagne lobster aspic, guinea fowl with wine sauce, iced maple sautee and homemade chocolate reflected the friendly, neighborly tone Reagan attempted to set from the time he stepped off Air Force One to a 21-gun salute and honor guard reception Sunday afternoon. At one point while Sauve was toasting Reagan at the dinner the president leaned over and winked at on U.S.

responsibility for acid rain. In their talks, Mulroney and Reagan also discussed trade bargaining between the two countries, which both leaders hope will reach a succesful conclusion this year. Mulroney hinted earlier Sunday on American TV that Canada is willing to bargain on the prickly question of Arctic sovereignty. While insisting the Arctic archipelago and the Northwest Passage "is ours lock, stock and icebergs, he said Canada recognizes the role it has to play in NATO and the western military alliance. "We would look with favor, obviously, on arrangements that would facilitate and expand those agreements between the countries you can draw some pretty fundamental conclusions from that," he said.

His comment seemed to open the door to a key demand by the Americans that U.S. warships be able to travel Arctic waters, especially the Northwest Passage, before they would recognize Canadian sovereignty over the Arctic straits. OFFICIALS HAVE indicated they do not expect major The acid rain issue has also been front and centre for much of the buildup to the third annual summit between the two leaders. Mulroney was grilled about the subject in two separate nationally broadcast U.S. television interviews.

Mulroney defended Reagans recent commitment to seek political support for $2.5 billion over five years for acid rain research and demonstration projects, but he argued that more must be done. "Now I call upon Congress, the Senate, the House of Representatives and the Administration to take it that one essential step further, Mulroney said, referring repeatedly in the TV interviews to the need for a treaty. MULRONEY WAS hounded by the opposition parties before this years meeting with Reagan. Liberals and New Democrats accused him of being weak-kneed for praising as progress Reagans research announcement part of a commitment made at last years summit Canadian officials believe Reagans acknowledgment of the U.S. acid rain sources can be seen as a victory for Mulroney.

The president hasnt previously taken a clear stand OTTAWA (CP) United States President Ronald Reagan conceded major ground Sunday in wrangling over acid rain, admitting for the first time that American sources are behind half the acid rain killing lakes and forests in Canada. A Canadian official said Mulroney tried to push Reagan farther in their first private meeting of a presidential visit here by seeking Reagans support for a treaty to set down clear targets for cutting industrial emissions. "The prime minister stressed that even if we were in Canada to eliminate all of the acid rain emissions that are generated in Canada, we would only be coping with 50 per cent of the problem, said the official, who attended the meeting and later briefed reporters on condition he not be named. "The president acknowledged that he was aware that the remainder of the acid rain emissions were generated in the United States." Pollution decimating Canadian lakes, forests and rivers as well as American wildlife dominated the 35-minute session, the officials said.
