WASHINGTON (UPI) —
President Richard Nixon and
Soviet leader Leonid 1. Brezh-
ney pledged today to avoid mili-
lary confrontations and (ireals
of farce thal might lead to nu-
clear war belween their two
nations,

in a policy dectaration, the
leaders of (he two nuclear
superpowers agreed lo “im-
udiately cnter inta urgent

 
 vonsullations with each other”
should the risk af a nuclear
vonflict arise.

Nixon and Brezhnev signed
the agreement —lhe eighth
since the start of their summil
talks —in a ceremony in the
East Ream of the White House
a few hours before their
scheduled departure aboard the
presidential jetliner for San
Clemente, Calif., far the conclu-
sion of their week-long con-
ference.

In the agreement, the two
Jeaders promised that the
United Slates and the Soviet
Union ‘will act in such a
manner as to prevent (he
development of situalious capa-
ble of causing a dangerous
exacerbation af their relations,
as fo avoid military confronta-
lions, and to exclude the
outbreak af nuclear war he-
tween them and belween either
bf the parties and other
countries."

The accord also calls for the
signalories to proceed from the
premise thal each will refrain
“from the threal ar use of force
against the other parly, against
the allies of the other party,
and against other countries, in
circumsiances which may en-
danger international peace and
security.”

In advance of the signing,
Nixon briefed congressional
Ieaders af both parties an the
declaration, which is a state.
ment of policy —nat a treaty —
and therefore dees not require

doctrine was “ta prevent the
outbreak of nuclear war.”
