Gorbachev Sign Treaty to Sow Seeds of Peace Continued From A-- l which holds out for our children and grandchildren and for their children and grandchildren the promise of a fulfilling and happy life without fear and without a senseless waste of resources on weapons of destruction” Gorbachev said Reagan defending the pact said “This treaty protects the interests of America’s friends and allies It also embodies another important principle — the need for ‘glasnost’ — a greater openness in military pro- grams and forces” "We can only hope that this historymaking agreement will not be an end in itself but the beginning of a working relationship that will enable us to tackle the other issues urgent issues before us" Reagan added Reagan formally welcomed Gorbachev to the White House Tuesday morning in a ceremony marked by a booming n artillery salute m music and troops of the US services dress-uni-form- ‘ The treaty-signin- g was sandwiched between two formal meetings — a third session was set Wednesday and two more on Thursday when Gorbachev is to depart The president and first lady Nancy Reagan welcomed the Soviet leader and his wife Raisa to a state dinner Tuesday night where the guest list included a platoon of Hollywood stars past and present and the cream of the capital city’s elite ' Toasting the treaty and the people of each country at the dinner the two leaders stressed what Gorbachev called "the great political and ideological distances” and what Reagan called “fundamental disagreements about how human communities should govern ourselves ” Gorbachev referred to his New Year’s Day speech on American television in 1986 when he hoped that “the winter of our discontent may one day it can be come to an end Today said that the winter is on the wane” “The goal we are setting today is to build a nuclear-fre- e world” Gorbachev declared In welcoming Gorbachev to the White House Reagan called the INF treaty “a giant step" toward resolving the "weighty differences between our governments and systems — differences that will not go away by wishful thinking or expressions of goodwill” “Over the next few days” Reagan said “it is my hope that progress will be made toward achieving another agreement that will lead to the cutting in half of our strategic nuclear arsenals” “Our people for too long have been masters and the captives of a deadly arms race This situation is not preordained — it’s not part of some inevitable cours of history” both the 7 Reagan said "We make history Changing its direction is within our power” Responding Gorbachev said he and Reagan have to choose “what is to triumph: fears and prejudice inherited from the Cold War and leading to or common sense confrontation which calls for action to ensure the survival of civilization” The treaty Gorbachev said is “the first step down the road leading to a nuclear-fre- e It is a great world step into the future” The treaty would require destruction of an estimated 1752 Soviet missiles and roughly 859 US missiles The treaty deals specifically only with the launchers not the warheads which amount to less than 5 percent of the total superpower nuclear arsenal Most of the Soviet missiles and all of the US missiles covered by the pact are in the European theater where US allies rely on an American nuclear “umbrella” to counter the Warsaw Pact’s superiority in conventional forces US officials and most European leaders however believe that the 4000 US “battlefield” nuclear weapons — artillery shells and short-rang- e missiles not covered by the agreement — are sufficient to maintain deference while the superpowers and their allies continue talks to reduce conventional force levels Reagan also served notice he will press Moscow on regional issues and human rights which he called matters of “political morality” For his part Gorbachev said he looked forward to “a most serious and frank e of superdialogue” on the power relations full-rang- Summit Schedule - Here is WASHINGTON (AP) the schedule for the summit meetings Wednesday between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S Gorbachev All times are Eastern Standard 9 am: Gorbachev meets with congressional leaders 10:30 am: Negotiations between Reagan and Gorbachev resume in the Oval Office 1 pm: Secretary of State George P Shultz hosts a luncheon for Gorbachev at the State Department 4:30 pm: Gorbachev meets with US publishers at the Soviet Embassy 4:30 pm: Gorbachev meets at the Embassy with group of US publishers 7 pm: Gorbachev hosts a dinner for Reagan at Soviet Embassy The Soviet leader 20 years younger than the Reagan also commented on his efforts to remake Soviet society through his policies of “glasnost” — openness in political expression — and “perestroika” an effort to free the Soviet economy from strict socialist practices Gorbachev in his remarks after the INF signing referred to plans for a summit next year in Moscow and said it might involve not only a strategic arms treaty but also an accord on reducing conventional forces While the Soviet leader appeared to place that tantalizing prospect on the table he also made a critical reference to Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative saying space is a place for cooperation not “Star Wars” A proposal to slash strategic arsenals in half — the goal both sides have espoused — was broached at the Reykjavik summit in October 1986 but the idea fizzled when Reagan balked at Soviet insistence that his defense project be curtailed There were hints from the Soviet it sessions that a side in new flexibility toward “Star Wars” could enable the superpowers to climb over that hurdle and Reagan — while vowing strategic defense efforts are not a “bargaining chip” — similarly extolled hope for progress US officials have said a new accord is unlikely to emerge this week anti-missi- saying the greatest expectation should be that the leaders will sketch an outline that negotiatiors in Geneva can flesh out in the months ahead Security in Washington remained intense with police on foot and horseback keeping onlookers far back from the White House fences Proving two heads are better than one Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev Treaty Isn’t Complete Warns Hard-Lin- naawviaicu rixjoa LSSW i chat during White House arrival ceremo-Presidenies Tuesday kicking off the summit nt er Secret Missile Information Puzzles Perle By Bryan E Brumley Associated Press Writer — Arms control hard-line- r WASHINGTON Richard Perle said Tuesday that the administration's decision to withhold data on the number and location of missiles to be destroyed under the treaty signed Tuesday indicates work on the pact is not complete “I am puzzled as to why parts of this agreement are being kept secret unless they haven’t finished their work or there are anomalies in the data And that would concern me more than it would surprise me" Perle a former assistant defense secretary said in an interview The administration gave no explanation for withholding the information which the Soviet and US governments provided each other to monitor compliance with the treaty Perle who left the administration earlier this year after playing a key role in the INF talks for six years said he has not decided whether to en- dorse the Intermediate Nuclear Force pact signed at the White House by President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev Failure to release the data said Perle “just reinforces my view that people should withhold their opinion of this treaty until they read the full text I want to see more than a summary text” One administration source who spoke on condition of anonymity said the Pentagon asked that the statistics be withheld But the source was unable to explain why The source said that Pentagon intelligence analysts tended to provide higher estimates of Soviet military strengths than other agencies such as the CIA and may be trying to reconcile the figures with their own data William Arkin a senior analyst at the liberal Natural Resources Defense Council said he had obtained statistics from government sources 4 which indicated that the Pentagon in its public statements had overstated the number of medium-range missiles in the Soviet arsenal The Pentagon has said that the Soviets have deployed 441 launchers and 112 SS-- 4 launchers for a total of 553 medium-rang- e launchers According to Arkin the memorandum puts the number of 0 and SS-- 4 launchers at 470 83 missiles below the figure previously released by the Pentagon The Pentagon has been that the Soviets saying s have 441 and 112 Arkin said “Obviously they have been overstating the case” he said Perle disputed Arkin’s contention It was unlikely that the Senate would ratify the treaty without releasing the numbers involved Perle said Administration sources speaking on condition of anonymity agreed The Senate is not a treaty that going to has a secret section" said Perleratify SS-2- 0 SS-2- SS-20-
