Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev renewed his call for the United States to join a nuclear test moratorium before Moscow’s self-imposed deadline expires next month. “It now depends above all on the United States whether the moratorium will continue,” he said in a message read to the 40-nation disarmament conference in Geneva. The Soviet unilateral halt started on Aug. 6 and was extended for three months at the beginning of the year. Western diplomats at the conference said there was nothing new in Gorbachev’s statement or a 14-page address that followed by First Deputy Foreign Minister Georgy M. Kornienko.
