WASHINGTON (AP) — President Reagan an­ nounced Friday he would meet here Dec. 7 with Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev and expects to sign a treaty to ban intermediate-range nuclear missiles. 7; .• Reagan said he hoped to visit Moscow next year and 'sigh a second pact to slash their long-range arm s by SO percent. A Joint announcement said the summit was envisaged for the flrst half of 1088. ' Tiie treaty to eliminate U.S. and Soviet missiles with ranges of 815 toA.lZS miles is still not finished. But Secretary of State George P. Shultz said confidently: “We will get that treaty done before the summit. You can be sure of that.” Among the remaining issues is whether Soviet inspectOTS will be stationed at bases in West Germany, Britain, Italy and Belgium where the U.S. missiles are Shultz said at a news conference. ;;''i^tbacbev estintated in a letter to Reagan it would take two or three weeks to clear up all the details, said a White House Official, speaking on condition of anonymity. “We’re down to the short strokes,” hesaid. The scheduling of Gorbachev’s first visit to America sharply reversed his hesitation only last week to set a- date for his third summit meeting with Reagan. But Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevard­ nadze, standing next to the president, insisted “There was no flip-flop,” and Reagan avoided any direct criticism of the Soviet leader. “There never has been to my knowledge any Lf* negative from him," he said. The visit evidenUy will be confined to Washington. Reagan said “scheduling problems” on both sides precluded a tour of other parts of the United States. A White House official said the summit would last two or three days. On Capitol Hill, the reaction Was generally positive, but congn^onal leaders said any arms pact would be scrutinized “with our guard up and our ears open.” Many senators said they must be assured that Soviet compliance with the treaty can be adequately verified before approving it. Others said the West must quickly H«raM'S>io*e by Koo< move to modernize conventional forces in Europe in the aftermath of agreement to eliminate the shiled BEAR HUO — Smokey Bear gets a hug from 7-year-old Darrell Sachl represented by U.S. intermediate and sborter-range of Manchester during the Eighth Utilities District’s fire prevention show Turn to page 8 held at Robertson School Friday.
