The offer was the first time the Soviet Union had mentioned the possibility of dismantling the weapons it would withdraw from Europe as opposed to re-siting them in Asia or putting them in storage. - It was made by the country's two top arms negotiators, Viktor Karpov and Yuli Kvitsinsky, who represent Moscow at the current US. -Soviet strategic arms and medium-range missile talks in Geneva respectively. - Members of a 13-man congres- sional delegation who met them yesterday said that when asked to elaborate on an offer by Soviet leader Yuri Andropov to reduce missile forces, the two men INDEX Wednesday, January 12,1983 Volume 2, Number 8, 4 Sections 54 pages explained that Moscow would "consider destruction of the mis- siles" Andropov said last month the Soviet Union was ready to reduce its stocks of SS-20 missiles in Europe to the combined level of British and French missile forces - 162. But that reduction would be contingent on the North Atlantic West German opposition leader Hans-Jochen Vogel reports Andropov doubts U.S. is willing to reach accord on nuclear weapons growth in Europe. Page 5A. meaty Organization's shelving plans to deploy new U.S. medium- range missiles in Western Europe, they said. One of the diplomats called the offer "significant;' but noted the Soviets said only that they were considering such a move. He also Richard Schweiker said no numbers were mentioned and pointed out that verification would be difficult. The Soviet negotiators, by say- ing the Kremlin would consider destroying some SS-20s after their withdrawal from Europe, made a step in principle toward answering NATO objections to the most recent Soviet proposal for limiting medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe. The Soviets now have 333 SS-20s deployed on their territory, with about 220 thought to be within striking distance of Western Europe. NATO rejected the Andropov offer because he did not say what the Soviets would do with missiles he was offering to withdraw. It said those missiles could be removed to the Asian part of the Soviet Union and, because they are mobile, see MISSILES, page 12A New Lebanon turmoil shadows Habib visit Approved For Release 2007/09/11: CIA-RDP85M00363R000300460011-1 Approved For Release 2007/09/11: CIA-RDP85M00363R000300460011-1 one associate. schweiker joined the n in Conl i ars after 20 yen th and eight i men the Senate which he Wks n _ during Su ccessor has bee was speculation and labor gLa but there select another W. liberal Schweiker an PrOPosed a~ boned, might Elizabeth Reagan et. lap cut social Secur t, ted about the a b to st las L? womande was ju T 1 that, Dole, a Reagan the Transportation in as withdraw d before it was of or hea named to said Department. of a successor is. gip nMondaY, he 11 fun e and co-pilot of Lansdowne, p.
