nation remains great," but he asserted
that the Administration was commit-
ted to an arms control accord if the
Soviet Union wants an agreement that
truly reduces nuclear arms."
Tass said the Soviet Union was disap-
pointed that "Reagan not only failed to
give a reply" but "did not say a word
about" the Soviet proposal last month
to eliminate nuclear weapons by the
year 2000.
It said Mr. Reagan's assurance that
the development of a space-based mis-
sile defense would reduce the threat of
nuclear war was divorced from reality,
"How distant such kind of promises
are from actuality is evidenced by the
fact that the Pentagon envisages a
sharp increase, not a reduction, in ap-
propriations for the production of the
newest types of offensive strategic
weapons," the agency said.
It pointed to comments by Secretary
of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger
about the importance of the missile de-
fense program, officially called the
Strategic Defense initiative, as further
evidence that Washington seeks "to
break the existing strategic balance for
the purpose of gaining military superi-
ority,"
'Grim Reality' Cited
A Tass commentary from Moscow
concluded that the proposed Pentagon
budget for 1987 showed the Administra-
tion had "opted for an unrestricted ac-
celeration of the arms race in its final
two years in office to make the process
irreversible."
The Tass dispatch from Washington
also criticized Mr. Reagan's comments
about regional tensions, saying that he
"promised all-round aid and support to
the counterrevolutionary forces around
the world, threatening those countries
and governments whose foreign and
domestic policies do not suit the White
House."
On American domestic issues, Tass
said Mr. Reagan's programs would ag-

MOSCOW, Feb. ; 5 - The official
Soviet press agency condemned Presi-
dent Reagan's State of the Union ad-
dress today and warned that proposed
increases in American defense spend-
ing would intensify the arms race.
In a series of dispatches from Wash-
ington and commentaries from Mos-
cow-based analysts, the agency, Tass,
said the Administration was ignoring
Soviet proposals to eliminate nuclear
weapons by the end of the century and
accused Mr. Reagan of embarking on a
program to achieve military superiori-

,
An unsigned dispatch from Washing-
ton about Mr. Reagan's address to Con-
gress on Tuesday said, "President
Reagan advocated a buildup of United
States military might and an intensi-
fication of the arms race, including its
spread to space.
"For lack of other. arguments in
favor of spending huge funds for non-
productive and dangerous military
purposes, Reagan again turned to the
the myth about a; Soviet threat,'"
