The Reagan Administration, under its much disputed "broad" interpretation of that treaty, insists that more advanced research and certain types of tests in space are permitted. In addition, the Soviets seek a guarantee that neither side will withdraw from the ABM treaty to deploy a space-based antimissile system for at least ten years. Dealing with that impasse was the job of the working group that was set up on Tuesday under Paul Nitze, the President's chief arms-control adviser, and Marshal Sergei Akhromeyev, the Soviet armed...

As originally agreed in Reykjavik, the plan calls for a 50% reduction in overall nuclear warheads, down to 6,000 for each side. Of those, the combined number of intercontinental ballistic missiles plus submarine-launched ballistic missiles was limited at 4,900. No more than 1,540 warheads can be on heavy multiwarhead missiles. They also agreed to a limit of 1,600 delivery systems (missile launchers, bombers, etc.). Verification procedures remain...
