WASIIINGTON tAP) — The
United States ‘and the Soviet
Union Thursday signed un
agreement in-principle to fimit
find possibly reduce ‘thelr
stockpiles of offensive nuclear
weapons by the. énd of i974.

President Nixan and Soviel
Communist leader Leonid [.
Brezhnev raised their cham-
pagne glasses in toasts to
success at the ceremony in the
White House asl Room.

The agreement, the out-
slanding accomplishment of
their weeklong summil was
forged by Nixon and Brezhnev
earlier al Camp David, the
presidential retreat in the
mountains of Maryland. $L is
 designed lo spur negotiators for
the two counlries al the
revessed strategic arms
limitation talks (SALT) In
Genevat** :

For the first. time, the two
nations committed themselves
in principle to actual reduelions
of their nuclear weaponry as
well as to permanent
limilalions. Also significantly,
the United Slates evidently is
bowing to Stiviel objecliuns lo
on-site inspections.

One of the seven stated
principles provides that
“national Lechnieal means” be
the system of verifying whether
Washinglon and Moscow were
living up to a missile limitation.

 

  

 
 Surveillance of mutliple
independently targeled
warheads CMIRVS) ‘ evidenlly
would be restricted mostly to
“observation by fadar’ and: spy
satellite while in Might tests.

Henry A. Kissinger, the
President's nalional security
adviser, brieling newsmen,
said that “those MIRV
ugreemenls thal are nat
verifiable by national technical
meaus Id be difficult lo
reconcile” with (he objective of
restricting complex nuclear
offensive weapons.

The two nations agreed in
another provision that efforts
hy ane or the other lo obtain a
nuclear advantage would be

 

 

   
 inconsistent wilh the goal of
strengthening peaceful
relations.

The arms Hmilation en-
visioned by Lhe end of next year
would include nol only numbers
but the quality of the missiles.

Nixon and Brezhnev also
agreed that limilation on
slrategic offensive arms must
he subject lo “tadequate
verification.” Both nations
would be permitted to
modernize and — replace
weapons anly under conditions
lo be agreed upon al Geneva

At the same time, Nixon and
Brezhnev signed a 10-year pact
lo expand cooperation between
the Lwo countries on peaceful
uses of alomic energy. [L
succeeds a series of [wo-year
agreements,

The major areas of the joint
arms effort include: (1) con-
trolling thermonuclear fusion
(2) research on “fast breeder”
reactors which ereate more
fuel than they consume; (3)
research on the fundamental
properties of physical matter.

Nixon and Brezhnev New
down by helicopter from the
Catoclin Mountains to sign the
histnrie document on the fourth
day of their summitry. A
similar arms understanding
between them In 1971 produced,
when Nixon went lo Moscow lo
see Brezhnev last spring, an
inilial bil Similed nuclear
weapons agreement,
