World IN BRIEF : EASTERN EUROPE : Warsaw Pact Agrees on Military Cuts

Members of the crumbling Warsaw Pact finally agreed on their shares of conventional arms in Europe. Czechoslovak Deputy Foreign Minister Robert Harancar told a news conference that a two-day meeting in Prague had reached consensus after the Soviet Union agreed to cut its share of tanks and artillery. The agreement, reached on what was the alliance’s fourth attempt to find a consensus, clears the way for the signing in Paris next month of a disarmament treaty drawn up by the Conference on Security and Cooperation.
