* SLOVAK CONSTITUTIONAL COURT RULES ON
REFERENDUM
CZECH PRESIDENT IN U.S. TO DISCUSS NATO. Vaclav
Havel arrived yesterday in the U.S. for talks on the
timetable and prospects of NATO's expansion. Havel told
journalists before his departure he wants not only to lobby
for the Czech Republic but also to discuss in general the
meaning of the Alliance and the principles of a new
European security system. Havel also said that the
European Statesman Award he will receive in New York
later this week is for him part of the "psychological pre-
conditions for the political integration of Europe". Havel is
to share the award, presented by the Institute for East-
West Studies, with German President Roman Herzog for the
Czech-German reconciliation accord, signed earlier this
year.
