1983 is going out to the thunder of the guns of the U.S. battleship "New Jersey" trained
-irectly on residential areas of Beirut; to the shouting of U.S. soldiers on the small
Island of Grenada, which it is occupying; to the roar of Boeings delivering equipment to
Tarope for the deployment there of new U.S. nuclear missiles; to the sound of gunfire of
1..S. terrorists trained by the CIA and sent into Nicaragua, Afghanistan, and Angola.

reconnaissance mission? On this occasion there was not a single word of truth.

one of these wores was a lie. Remember how the U.S. President spoke of his striv-

to station new missiles in Europe? Every word here too was a lie. It has now become

leaders of the United States are adhering even more to the method of thinking which

[Fom the Vremya newscast]
[Text] McFarlane, assistant to the U.S. President on national security, held a press
conference in Washington today for foreign journalists on the subject of the end of
the year and results of U.S. foreign policy. During the conference he tried to prove
that the Reagan administration's policy has strengthened security in the world, and stat-
ed that ove the past year the world has become a safer place and that there are now far
fewer reasons for crisis and instability than there were a year ago. Over to Genrikh
Borovik;
[Borovik] Hello, comrades! The year is drawing to an end, and in 2 weeks more it will
be replaced by a new year. It is difficult to say what sort of year 1984 will be, what
the immediate future will be like. However, the past has helped people determine once
again who's who on our earth.
A year ago we spoke on the Vremya newscast about the black jubilees that U.S. imperial-
ism could mark in 1983: the 10th anniversary of the CIA-organized fascist coup in Chile,
the 15th anniversary of the murder of Martin Luther King by FBI agents, the 20th anni-
versary of the beginning of the escalation of the bloody U.S. war against Vietnam, and
the 50th anniversary of the coming to power of Hitler's fascism in which, as we know,
U.S. monopolies and many others had a hand. This year too Washington has not been idle,
and has carried out crimes that will remain in human memory for a long time:
