WASHINGTON (UPI) —
President Nixon and Soviet
leader Leonid I. Brezhnev
pledged today to avoid military
confrontations and threats of
force that might lead to nuclear
war between their two nations,

In a policy declaration, the
leaders of the two nuclear
superpowers agreed to “im-
mediately enter into urgent
consulations with each other”
should the risk of a nuclear

talks —in a ceremony in the
East Room of the White House
a few hours before their
scheduled departure aboard the
presidential jetliner for San
Clemente, Calif., for the conclu-
sion of their week-long con-
ference,

In the agreement, the two
leaders promised that the
United States and the Soviet
Union “will act in such a
manner as to prevent the
 deve ent of situations capa-
ble of causing a dangerous
exacerbation of their relations,
as to avoid military confronta-
tions, and to exclude the
outbreak of nuclear war be-
 {tween them and between either
of the parties and other
countries.”

The accord also calls for the
signatories to proceed from the
premise that each will refrain
“from the threat or use of force
against the other party, against
the allies of the other party,
and against other countries, in
circumstances which may en-
danger international peace and
security.”

In advance of the signing
Nixon briefed congressional
leaders of both parties on the
declaration which is a state-
ment of policy —not a treaty —

therefore does not require
Senate ratification.

Presidential adviser Henry A.
Kissinger said the intent of the
doctrine was “to prevent the
outbreak of nuclear war.”
