WASHINGTIN (AP) — The
United States and the Soviet
Union Thursday signed an
agreement in principle to limit
and possibly reduce their stock-
piles of offensive nuclear weap-
ons by the end of 1974.

President Nixon and Soviet
Communist leader Leonid I.
Breziney raised their cham-
pagne glasses in toasts to suc-
cess at the ceremony in the
White House East Room.

The agreement, the out-
standing accomplishment of
their week-long summit, was
forged by Nixon and Brezhnev
earlier at Camp David the
presidential retreat in the
mountains of Maryland. It is
designed to spur negotiators for
the two countries at the re-
cessed strategic arms _ limita-
tion talks (SALT) in Geneva.

For the first time, the two
nations committed themselves
in principle to actual reductions
of their nuclear weaponry as
well as to permanent limita-
tions. Also significantly, the
United States evidently is bow-
ing to Soviet objections to on-
Site inspections.

One of the seven stated prin-
ciples provides that ‘‘national
technical meams’’ be the sys-
| tem of verifying whether Wash-
ington and Moscow were living
up to a missile limitation.

Surveillance of multiple inde-
pendently targeted warheads
MIRVS evidently would be re-
stricted mostly to observation
by radar and spy satellite while
in flight tests.

Henry A. Kissinger, the Pres-
.ident’s national security ad-
|| visr, briefing newsmen_ said
»; that “those MIRV agreements
.|that are not verifiable by na-
-| tional technical means would
1 be difficult to reconcile” with
|the objective of restricting
1 complex nuclear offensive
{ weapons.

1, The two nations agreed in an-
5 other provision that efforts by
1 one or the other to obtain a nu-

‘clear advantage would be in-
n| consistent with the goal of
1 Strengthening peaceful _rela-
4 | tions.
t| The arms limitation envis-
, toned by the end of next year
s | would include not only numbers
f but the quality of the missiles.
n Nixon and Brezhnev alsc
o agreed that limitation or

fi subject to ‘‘adequate veri

fication.”” Both nations woulc

At the same time, Nixon anc

5 | to expand cooperation betwee:
the two countries on peacefu

t The major points of the com
oe pact include: (1)  controllin;
