The U.S. and China have agreed in principle on the sale of American naval weapons to the Peking government and on a Shanghai port visit in April by three U.S. destroyers, United Press International quoted Pentagon officials as saying. The reported agreement on the sale of the remote-controlled Phalanx deck gun, gas turbine engines, sonar equipment and torpedoes was reached during a recent visit to Washington by a Chinese naval delegation, the officials said. In Peking, the visiting chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. John W. Vessey Jr., concluded talks with Chinese leaders.
