WASHINGTON (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.
Brezhney 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 1s
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 io 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 means’’ 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
restricted mostly to observation
by radar and spy Satellite while
in flight tests,

Henry A. Kissinger, the Pres-
ident’s national security ad-
viser, briefing newsmen, Said
that “those MIRV agreements
that are not verifiable by na-
tional technical means would
be difficult to reconcile’ with
the objective of restricting
complex nuclear’ offensive
weapons.

The two nations agreed in an-
other provision that efforts by
one or the other to ebtain a nu-
clear advantage would be in-
consistent with the goal of
strengthening peaceful rela-
tions,

The arms limitation envis-
ioned by the end of next year
would include not only numbers
but the quality of the missiles.
