Reagan: Post-su:
it by word is s
teady as we go9
WASHINGTON President Reagan,
addressing a joint session of Congress
upon his return from Geneva, charac
terized his summit with Mikhail
Gorbachev as a "constructive meeting"
and said the leaders had made a "mea
sure of progress" on arms control.
However, the president said, "I can't
claim we had a meeting of the minds,"
and his description of the arms under
standings included only the modest
provisions carried in a joint statement
issued from Geneva.
"While we still have a long way to go,
we're at least heading in the right
direction," Reagan said. "I gained a
better perspective; I feel he did, too."
Back home after the first U.S.-Soviet
summit meeting in six years, Reagan
declared that he was "impatient for
results" in the drive to improve super
power relations. But he quickly cau
tioned that "goodwill and good hopes
do not always yield lasting results.
Quick fixes don't fix big problems."
"We don't want a phony peace or a
frail peace," the president said. "We
did not go in pursuit of some kind of
illusory detente. We can't be satisfied
with cosmetic improvements that won't
stand the test of time. We want real
peace."
The speech capped an 18-hour work
ing day for Reagan.
In all, the president summed up his
trip this way:
"A new realism spawned the sum
mit; the summit itself was a good start;
and now our byword must be: Steady as
we go."
Reagan's report to the nation fol

Summit summary
GENEVA Here, at a glance, are highlights of the
Reagan-Gorbachev summit.
The joint appearance: President Reagan
and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev met Thursday at a
final, summit-ending ceremony, where they acknow
ledged in a joint statement that despite "frank and
useful" discussions "serious differences remain on a
number of critical issues," particularly arms control.
Arms control: Reagan and Gorbachev agreed
to accelerate the arms control negotiations, now set to
resume Jan. 16, 1986, in Geneva.
The future: The two leaders announced that
they would meet at two additional summits one
next year in the United States and another in 1987 in
the Soviet Union, according to U.S. officials. They
agreed to the additional meetings on the last day of the
summit, while sitting before a roaring fire after dinner
at Reagan's borrowed residence.
The cultural agreement: While an agree
ment on arms control eluded negotiators, they did
reach a solid accord to resume U.S.-Soviet cultural
exchanges. The agreement was signed during the clos
ing ceremony by Secretary of State George Shultz and
Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze. Ex
change of performers, students, teachers and scient
ists was sharply curtailed by former President Carter in
retaliation for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
Air safety: The United States and Soviet
Union also agreed to establish new communication
links to improve air safety in the North Pacific to avoid
incidents like the Soviet downing of a South Korean
jetliner two years ago.
Consulates: A separate agreement clears the
way for a new U.S. consulate in Kiev and a Soviet
consulate in New York, and authorizes the two govern
ments to conclude negotiations to resume commercial
air travel between the United States and the Soviet
Unioa
Research: The last agreement is designed to
foster research on the sun as energy through transfers
of technology and "basic knowledge."
The first ladies: Nancy Reagan and Raisa
Gorbachev met for a second time Wednesday. In
attempt to defuse the fashion "style wars," Nancy
Reagan told reporters she found the comparisons "a
little silly."
Reports to allies: President Reagan flew
Thursday from Geneva to Brussels, Belgium, to report
on the substance of the summit and discuss its impli
cations for the future with leaders of the Western allies
at NATO headquarters. Gorbachev flew Thursday from
Geneva to Prague to brief Eastern Bloc leaders.
. Report to Congress: After Air Force One
touched down at Andrews Air Force Base Thursday
night, Reagan helicoptered to the Capitol to report in
the summit to Congress and the American public.
ments to meet again next year in
Washington and the year after in Mos
cow, and accords on issues such as
cultural exchange and establishment
of new diplomatic facilities. But the
two leaders failed to break their dead
lock on the main business of super
power arms control, and Reagan said
that on the issue of so-called "Star
Wars," the two leaders had a "very
direct" exchange.
"Mr. Gorbachev insisted that we
might use a strategic defense system to
put offensive weapons into space and
establish nuclear superiority," the
president said.
Reagan also said he restated his
proposal for "open laboratories" for
scientists from the Soviet Union and
the United States to observe each oth
er's research on strategic defense
systems.
Arms control aside, Reagan said he
had raised other subjects, including
"threats to peace" in Afghanistan
Nicaragua, Ethiopa, Angola and Cam
bodia, where Soviet backed govern
ments are in power. "I tried to be very
clear about where sympathies lie; I
believe I succeeded," he said.
Reagan also said the two men dis
cussed human rights, although he
made no claim on progress towards
winning the release of Soviet dis
sidents. In his 20-minute speech, the presi
dent also listed several ageements to
emerge from the talks:
O A new agreement for cultural
exchanges between the United States
and the Soviet Union, involving artists,
students, teachers and others.
O Decision to establish a new
Soviet consulate in New York and a new
American facility in Kiev. This will give
the United States a permanent pres
ence in the Ukraine for the first time in
decades, Reagan said.
O Accord, together with Japan, on
a new Pacific air safety agreement.
"What happened before must never be
allowed to happen again," Reagan said
in reference to a Korean Air Lines jet
shot down by the Soviets in 1983.
O He said he looks forward to wel
coming Gorbachev to the United States
in 1986, and said he has accepted an
invitation to Moscow for the following
year.
20 million go 'cold turkey
in Great American Smokeout
Ob? Boiey ,
Smokers in California watched the
dancing Cancerettes, in Harlem they
attended a "cold turkey" rally, and
even the villainous J. R. Ewing helped a
smoker try to kick the habit Thursday
during the ninth annual Great Ameri
can Smokeout.
The goal of the American Cancer
Society, which sponsored the nation
wide anti-smoking day, was to get one
in five of the nation's 55 million smok
ers to quit for at least 24 hours. A
preliminary survey showed that more
than one in three smokers made the
attempt.
Last year, a record 20.4 million
smokers tried to quit and 5.4 million
succeeded for the day, according to
estimates drawn from a Gallup poll.
About 3 million were still off cigarettes
five days later.
An initial survey on Thursday showed
that 19.7 million smokers participated,
but officials said that did not represent
a drop because last year's early poll
showed that 18.5 million had partici
pated. That figure rose to 20.4 million
after a later poll, and this year's total
also is likely to rise when the final
count is made next week.
One smoker got special help on
Thursday. Gretchen Orthen, a nurse at
St. John's Hospital and Health Center
in Santa Monica, Calif., was "adopted"
for the day by actor Larry Hagman, who
plays J. R. Ewing on the TV show "Dal
las." Hagman escorted Orthen around
the "Dallas" set and to a rally and other
activities in an effort to keep her mind
off cigarettes.
Another "adoptee" was University of
Texas football coach Fred Akers, who
was "adopted" by his next opponent in
a Southwest Conference football game
Baylor coach Grant Teaff.
Under the Cancer Society's adoption
program, non-smokers provide smoking
"adoptees" with moral support to help
them avoid smoking.
Other efforts to convince smokers to
toss away their cigarettes ranged from
the bizarre to the educational.
In Glendale, Calif., a rally included
entertainment by the dancing Can
cerettes, who wore cigarette pack cos
tumes and danced to the tune of
"Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette."
The cigarette packs carried "brand"
names: "Slayem," "FALSE," "FOOL,"
"Less," and "deMERIT."
Gov. Richard Lamm of Colorado used
the day to sign an executive order to
ban smoking in state buildings, includ
ing the state universities.
In Grand Island, a Nebraska man
now a non-smoker recalled his
smoking days with little remorse. When
the American hostages were released
from Iran in 1981 after 444 days in
captivity, Marv Maurer of Grand Island
vowed not to smoke for 444 days. He
hasn't lit up since.
Maurer, assistant superintendent of
business for Grand Island Public
Schools, said ending 38 years of smok
ing was the most difficult thing he had
ever done.
Pentagon panel urges better
protection of defense secrets
WASHINGTON After a study that
included a talk with Soviet double
defector Vasily Yurchenko, a Pentagon
commission said Thursday that protec
tion of defense secrets "falls short"
and recommended expanded use of lie
detector tests for military personnel
and civilian contractors.
Secretary Caspar Weinberger imme
diately moved on one of the panel's
recommendations, ordering a "one
time, top-to-bottom security inspec
tion" throughout the Defense Depart
ment to see that security policies are
being observed and enforced.
The commission's study, triggered
by revelations of the Walker Family spy
ring, recommended an array of mea
sures to tighten controls on classified
information. "Increased priority must
be accorded (defense) security ef
forts," it said.
"While no system of security can
provide foolproof protection against
espionage, it can make espionage more
difficult to undertake and more diffi
cult to accomplish without detec
tion,'" "In this respect, DoD's current
security program falls short of provid
ing as much assurance as it might that
the nation's defense secrets are pro
tected." Retired Army Gen. Richard G. Stil
well, who headed the panel, said that
given the millions of people with secur
ity clearances and the enormous num
ber of classified documents, "the state
of security was in reasonably good
shape."
Without referring to specific recent
cases where military secrets were
passed to the Soviet Union, the report
said: "Known DoD losses have been
relatively few. Some losses, however,
have proved gravely damaging."
The panel recommended further
reductions in the number of people
with access to classified material,
increased and more thorough back
ground checks on people with security
clearances, and a requirement that all
briefcases and other belongings be
subject to search when entering and
leaving defense facilities.
It urged restrictions including travel
limitations for Warsaw Pact diplomats
at the United Nations, and suggested
tougher steps be taken against civilian
defense contractors who allow security
violations. It proposed monetary re
wards for tips on people passing
secrets.
Stilwell told reporters he had talked
with Yurchenko, the recent Soviet
double-defector, in the course of pre
paring the report. The full panel also
interviewed another Soviet defector,
Stanislav Levchenko.
Navy analyst charged in espionage
WASHINGTON Federal authorities on Thursday charged a civilian
counterintelligence analyst for the Navy with espionage, saying he had
delivered national defense documents to a foreign government for "large
amounts of money."
Two federal sources said the government was believed to be Israel,
outside whose embassy Jonathan J, Pollard, 31, of Washington, was
arrested One source said it was believed Pollard was trying to enter the
embassy to seek political asylum in an effort to get arev from the FBI.
In papers filed in US, District Court, authorities said Pollard told
federal agents he had delivered documents and writing relating to the
national defense to an agent of a foreign government I:

French agents get 10-year sentences
AUCKLAND, New Zealand This nation's highest judge sentenced two
French secret agents to 10 years in prison Thursday for manslaughter in
the bombing of the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior. He said the
punishment was meant to deter terrorism.
Maj. Alain Mafart, 35, and Capt. Dominique Prieur, 38, also received
seven years each for willful damage to the ship, which was blown up and
sunk in Auckland Harbor on July 10.
The Rainbow Warrior was sunk by mines and a Greenpeace photo
grapher, Fernando Pereira of the Netherlands, was killed in the blast.
Greenpeace had sent the ship to New Zealand to lead a protest flotilla
against French nuclear tests in the Mururoa Atoll in the South Pacific.
Senate OKs U.S.-China nuclear pact
WASHINGTON The Senate on Thursday approved a long-delayed
agreement providing for nuclear technology cooperation between the
United States and China.
The voice vote approval came without audible dissent. A resolution
approving the agreement is still pending in the House, but no floor action
has been scheduled. The agreement takes effect Dec. II.
The agreement was tentatively worked out during President Reagan's
trip to China last year, but more negotiations fallowed in &n effort to meet
congressional concerns that the agreement lacked adequate safeguards
to ensure that the information and materials are net used to make atomic
weapor.s, .
The agreement permits the sda cf American readers and ether tech
nology wanted by China for its ambitious dvillan nucJcsr pern program.
