MOSCOW — The Soviet Un
ion went public Wednesday with
its latest offer at the Geneva mis
sile reduction talks and said the
United States does not really
want to reach an agreement.
| “It is difficult to get rid of the
impression that Washington
would wish to use the negotia
tions at Geneva in order to calm
the public of the Western Euro
pean countries,” Tass, the offi
cial Soviet news agency, said.
I The real aim of the Reagan
Administration is to justify the
installation of its own medium-
range missiles in Europe “by de
liberately leading the negotia
tions into a blind alley,” said the
Tass statement, which was
prominently displayed in the
Communist Party newspaper
Pruvda and other major news-
Pppers.
Pass criticized the U.S. prop-
1 saying it would mean unila
teral disarmament for the Soviet
Inion.
The U.S. proposal calls for
dismantling the Soviet fleet of
triple-warhead SS-20 rockets in
exchange for abandonment of
NATO plans to install almost
missiles of its own in
Europe.
Instead, the Soviets renewed
then proposal for a mutual re
duction of what they call for
ward-based nuclear means,
which includes bombers and
submarines as well as the British
and French nuclear forces.
That would mean a reduction
of current arsenals — estimated
by the Soviets at 1,000 units on
each side — to 600 in 1985 and
10 in 1990, Tass said.
Western experts say the idea
of a joint reduction is unhelpful
be< arise the Soviets already have
J3-1 advantage in theater nuc
lear weapons and cutbacks
would not change that.
The Soviet statement, aimed
wavering NATO govern-
®ents and the thousands in
Europe who demonstrated
against nuclear arms last year,
appeared despite a commit
ment by both sides to conduct
the Geneva negotiations behind
closed doors, a Western diplo
mat said.
The Tass statement claimed
the U.S. proposal would allow
the West to deliver 1.5 times as
many warheads against it and its
allies as they could return to
Eu rope.
“Washington’s genuine de
sign ... lies in creating... a logjam
at the negotiations ... and
try(ing) to lay the blame for this
at the door of the Soviet Union,”
Tass said.
The Soviet proposal, expand
ing on a presentation made by
President Leonid Brezhnev last
week, was carried without a sign
ature, indicating it came from
leading Kremlin figures.
Tass said the Soviet proposal
would apply to all medium-
range nuclear weapons with a
range of at least 620 miles, de
ployed in Europe or adjacent
waters, and added, verification
measures will be worked out.
The Soviet Union said each
side would determine the
weapons removed and could
modernize or replace weapons
within the agreed levels.
Weapons removed should be
destroyed, except for some
drawn behind agreed lines, it
said.
Tass again proposed a mora
torium on deployment of f urth
er medium-range nuclear mis
siles in Europe during negotia
tions. The Soviets maintain East
and West forces are roughly
equal, a position disputed by
Washington.
The United States rejected a
moratorium nearly a year ago,
saying it would only perpetuate
a Soviet military advantage in
Europe. For the same reason, it
rejected staged reductions.
The United States has ex
cluded submarine-launched
missiles and the independent
forces of France and Britain
