Carter, the first American presi- :nt to visit Spain since the end of Franco era in 1975, flew in from Igrade where he expressed sup- irt for Yugoslavia’s post-Tito adership and signed a joint state- ent condemning the Soviets’ Af- lian invasion.

The official said Secretary of State Edmund Muskie broached Carter’s proposal for a transitional arrange ment when he met privately with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko last month in Vienna. But the offical stressed that at this time “we’re not in any way in a nego tiating position.” Carter spent less than 24 hours in Spain in meetings with the king, Suarez and other officials. He was scheduled to fly to Portugal today, the last stop of his four-nation, eight- day European trip. Carter said in his toast at a state dinner in Belgrade Tuesday night the United States is willing to ex plore the possibilities of a stable tran sition in Afghanistan. The official said the “cardinal prin ciple” of Carter's policy is that the Kremlin must withdraw all its troops from Afghanistan, a principle unani mously endorsed in Venice Sunday at the summit of the world’s seven largest industrial democracies. “There will not be a repeat of the Czechoslovakian invasion where the Soviet occupation was tacitly accepted by the West,” the official added. “When and if the Soviets decide they have made a mistake,” the offi cial said, “how do you avoid mass slaughter” and retaliation against the supporters of the Soviet-backed regime. So far, he said, there is no indica tion the Soviets are reassessing their original decision for massive armed intervention in Afghanistan. But, the official added, “at the same time we believe they realize the difficulties of the decision they made.” He said the Soviet Union had withdrawn only some 5,000 to 8,500 troops of its estimated force of up to 100,00 soldiers and “the situation is still very confused and unstable.” The official said the United States: — Would be willing to have some U.N. or Islamic peacekeeping force to help with an orderly transition in Afghanistan and protect “those fel lows in Kabul who are a bunch of Quislings.” — Recognizes the Soviet Union has a legitimate security interest in Afghanistan and the country should not be transformed into an anti- Soviet outpost. —: Wants a genuinely non-aligned and neutral Afghanistan.
