United Press International
Washington—President
gan, saying the Soviet Union
[yet to take “the first mean-
lul step” on nuclear disarma-
It, sent his negotiating team
L to Geneva Wednesday with
lekage of proposals that in-
|es a call for the United
es and the Soviet Union to
|roy two existing nuclear
missiles for every new one pro
duced.
Reagan said that “through
out the negotiating process, it is
the United States who has had to
push, pull, probe and prod in
the effort to achieve any prog
ress” in the arms negotiations.
Reagan discussed the new
proposals with a group of con
gressmen before meeting with

chief U.S. arms negotiator Ed

the Strategic Arm* Reduction
Talks opens Thursday in
Geneva.
Reagan appointed R. James
Woolsey, a Democrat, to be a
member-at-large of the L .S. de
legation to warn the Soviets that
the president has bipartisan
backing for his actions.
Woolsey, former undersecret
ary of the Navy, w ill keep an eye
on the negotiations to determine
whether they are being pursued
by the Reagan team.
The main feature of the new
proposals is the guaranteed
build-down that provides for the
superpowers to eliminate two
older missiles for each new one
that is produced.
The proposal also includes
provisions for cutting down on
ballistic missile warheads and a
parallel reduction of bombers.
“Let me emphasize the Un
ited States lias gone the extra
mile,” Reagan said. “Everything
is on the table. We are still most
concerned about limits on the
fast-flying, most dangerous sys
tems. But we are also prepared
to negotiate limits on the bom

Reagan said the U.S. has tried
to address Soviet concerns, but
the Soviets have yet to take their
first meaningful step to address
ours.
He accused the Soviets of
“stonewalling” U-S". proposals,
not only in the START negotia
tions but also in the talks to re
duce intermediate range mis
siles in Europe.
The watchwords of the new
START proposal were “flexibil
ity” and “bipartisanship.”
Both Democrats and Republi
cans said Reagan had gone far in
integrating ideas from Capitol
Hill with the recommendations
of his own advisers in shaping
the package to be offered to the
Soviet Union this week.
Rep. Les Aspin. D-Wis.,
praised Reagan for his attempt
to involve Congress in arms con
trol policymaking, even though
he conceded the motivation may
have been to win greater sup
port for the MX missile and
other parts of the administra-
tion’s national security agenda.

Money doesn’t stop traffic
United Press International
SAN BRUNO, Calif. — Sur
prised police investigators said
that when two bank robbers tos
sed hundreds of dollars out of
their getaway car, only one
motorist stopped — and he
wasn’t after the loot.
The bandits were apparently
trying to create a traffic jam that
would slow down police cars that
were chasing them at speeds
greater than 100 miles per hour
down a busy freeway.
Instead, the driver who stop
ped stood guard over a simu
lated bomb the men had also
thrown from the car, Police
Capt. Tony Conti said Tuesday.
“It was a ploy to distract ev
erybody,” said Police Sgt. Joe
Lanthier.

the plea during an arraignment
before U.S. Magistrate Jerry
Hogg. He remains free on

ei, assistant U.S. attorney.
