STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- First Lady Nancy Reagan will travel Monday to Sweden to study the country's successful campaign against drug abuse.
Mrs. Reagan is scheduled to arrive at Stockholm's Arlanda International Airport on a special flight from Venice, Italy, where President Reagan is attending an economic summit.
The first lady, who heads the U.S. campaign against teenage drug and alcohol abuse, will spend most of the two-day visit learning about Sweden's successful fight against drugs.
On Monday, she will visit a new anti-drug facility in the northern suburb of Upplands Vasby in Stockholm.
She is scheduled to meet Tuesday with Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson, his wife Ingrid and Lisbet Palme, widow of slain Prime Minister Olof Palme. She will also be the guest of honor at a luncheon at Drottningholm Palace given by Queen Silvia.
The first lady will be accompanied by her own bodyguards and up to 300 plainclothes and uniformed policemen during her stay, her first visit to Sweden.
'We will have a bigger operation than what is normal for foreign visitors because American targets are constantly threatened,' Stockholm Police Superintendent Anders Wetterlind said.
On the walls of the Stockholm subway small stickers bearing a burning American flag read, 'Nancy, we're waiting for you. A fighting generation.'
On May 28, 30 youths attacked a U.S. Embassy sentry box, smashing windows with rocks and sticks and painting anti-American slogans on walls. Calling themselves the 'Kommando Coca-Cola,' they claimed Sweden condoned 'U.S. imperialist, capitalist and fascist policy' by receiving President Reagan's wife.
The violent protest was reminiscent of anti-American sentiments that prevailed in Sweden 15 to 20 years ago over the Vietnam war.
Relations between the United States and Sweden have since improved. Carlsson will visit President Reagan in Washington in September in the first official trip to Washington by a Swedish premier since 1961.
