WASHINGTON (AP) — The
United States and the Soviet
Union Thursday signed an
agreement in principle to lim-
it and possibly reduce their
stockpiles of offensive nuclear
weapons by the end of 1974.

President Nixon and Soviet
Communist leader Leonid I.
Brezhnev 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 Brézh-

the presidential retreat in the
mountains of Maryland. It is
designed to spur negotiators
for the two countries at the
recessed strategic arms limi-

For the first time, the two
nations committed themselves
in principle to actual reduc-
 tions of their nuclear weapon-
ry as well as to permanent
limitations. Also significantly,

bowing to Soviet objections to
On-site inspections.

One of the seven stated
principles provides that ‘‘na-
tional technical means’ be
the system of verifying
whether Washington and Mos-
 cow were living up to a mis-
sile limitation.

Surveillance of multiple in-
dependently targeted  war-
heads MIRVS evidently would
be restricted mostly to obser-
vation by radar and spy sat-
ellite while in flight tests.

Henry A. Kissinger, the
President’s national security
adviser, briefing newsmen,
 said that “those MIRV agree-
ments that are not verifiable
by national technical means
would be difficult to recon-
cile”’ with the objective of re-
stricting complex nuclear of-
fensive weapons.

The two nations agreed in
another provision that efforts
