in reducing the nation's mounting red ink and could be

— U.S. warships refused entry to

identified. Deputy Prime
Minister Geoffrey Palmer said
Sunday.
"I don't see any legal reasons
why it would be necessary to announce the names of ships that
we refuse entry to," Palmer
said.
The decision not to name affected vessels is seen by
observers as another concession
in an attempt to have the legislation accepted by the United
States, which has threatened to
withdraw from the ANZUS
defense alliance with Australia
and New Zealand if the new laws
are passed.

He added, however, that New

policy of refusing entry to ships^

Other cHanges to the first
drafts of the legislation — due to
be introduced into Parliament
within two weeks — include denying New Zealand courts the
power to challenge decisions

which ships can be admitted.
Palmer said giving courts
such power would place the
United States "in an impossible
