Special to The New York Times
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., March 12
- Secretary General Javier Perez de
Cuellar has advised the United States
to negotiate with the Soviet Union be-
fore enforcing cuts in the size of the
Soviet missions to the United Nations.
Francois Giuliani, a spokesman, said
that Mr. Perez de Cuellar, after study-
ing an opinion of his legal counsel, Carl-
August Fleischhauer of West Germa-
ny, gave the United States and the
Soviet Union a paper on Tuesday
recommending consultations.
The Secretary General will give the
two sides time to resolve the matter be-
fore deciding whether to convene a
three-member tribunal, in accordance
with the 1947 Headquarters Agree-
ment, which determines the conditions
under which the United Nations has its
headquarters in New York.
The accord provides for disputes to'
be taken first to the General Assem-
bly's Host Country Committee. In reply'
to a Soviet request, the committee is
scheduled to convene on Thursday.
