agreement in-principle to fimit

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

agreements,

The major areas of the joint
arms effort include: (1) con-
trolling thermonuclear fusion
(2) research on “fast breeder”
reactors which ereate more

research on the fundamental
properties of physical matter.
