SANTA BARBARA. Cal.
I - -President Reagan
hopes to persuade new
Soviet leader Milchdl
a
Gorbachev to signci
"declaration of prln-
plea" when they meet
next fall. The Post has
learned.
Such an agreement-
would add up to peace-
ful coexistence between
the two superpowers.
.Senior administration
officials said yesterday
that work has begun In
the White House on an
agenda following Gor-.
bachev'a acceptance of a
summit meeting with
Reagan later this year.
Officials expect that
Reagan's first face-to-
face meeting with a
Soviet leader will take
place in New York or
Washington this fall.
It probably will coin-
cide with ceremonies
commemorating the
40th anniversary of the
united Nations.
Reagan's policy of re-
jecting a "get-ac-
quainted session" still
stands, officials say, as
does his view that a
summit' must produce
concrete results.
But the administra-
do ' does not anticipate

agenda that includes the
signing of a "declara-

jar to the one signed by
former President Nixon
and Soviet leader Leo-
nid Breshnev when they
met in Moscow in 1972.
That declaration, in
which both sides agreed
to principles of peaceful
coexistence, mutual re-
straint and regular
bilateral negotiations,
?c~ree?a~ted the era of "de-
