Looking at West Germany. with enormous pressure of population. people moving in from the Soviet Union. Central and Eastern Europe. are putting incredible pressure on those democracies in Western Europe. Migrants are coming up from North Africa. from Tunisia. Morocco. and so onenormous population pressures there. and stories about the gypsies moving in from Romania and Yugoslavia. There are heartrending stories about grinding poverty in Haiti where the population has truly gotten out of control. and what was once the Jewel of the French colonial empire. the island of Haiti which was once the Jewel. Is now absolutely destroyed by the ravages of population. an indication to us as to what is going to happen to this world if we are not careful. There are stories about boat people. stories about IndianPakistani population conflict and stories about immigration into our own country. population is all around us. It is absolutely imperative that we start to get rid of the excesses of the 1980s. get rid of the kinds of militant discussions that occurred about this issue in the 1980s. and once again address this issue as a fundamental national security foreign policy issue for the nineties. It is imperative that the United States once again assume a position of leadership in the world as we once proudly had in the l60s and 1970s. of leading the world on the subject of population and family planning.
