 The annual gathering of NATO leaders   
 has been expressing its concern over   
 the imbalance of conventional NATO and 
 Warsaw pact forces in Europe.          
                                        
 NATO secretary-general Lord Carrington 
 said hj would bj happy to see a        
 "radical reduction of nuclear weapons".
                                        
 But hj said no one should be tempted to
 believe they could gain political      
 advantage bz starting, or threatening  
 to start, a conventional war.          
                                        
 NATO supreme commander, General Bernard
 Rogers has said NATO's conventional    
 forces would run out of troops and     
 ammunition "in a matter of days".
