Soviets offer to dismantle
some missiles in arms deal
From combined dispatches
MOSCOW - Soviet arms nego-
tiators yesterday told a group of
U.S. congressmen Moscow would
consider destroying some of its
medium-range missiles after
reducing their number as part of
an arms control settlement.
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

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

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,
