He also promised to "work hard to make the president's visit to the Soviet Union culminate in the signing of that (strategic arms) treaty." The Soviet leader, in what appeared to be a concession to Reagan, dropped his demand that SDI research and development be halted a position that has blocked progress on talks aimed at cutting each side's arsenal of long-range missile warheads in half, according to a senior U.S. official. The Soviet leader's shift in position increased the prospect that he and Reagan MORE: See SUMMIT on PAGE A10 they hope to sign a treaty reducing by half their arsenals of long-range nuclear missiles.

"This summit was a clear success," Reagan said in an Oval Office address to the nation -Thursday night, minutes after Gorbochev's Aeroflot Ilyushin 62 jetliner took off from Andrews Air Force Base in suburban Maryland to officially end his four-day visit to the United States. Citing "dramatic movement in the arms reduction area," Reagan said that he and Gorbachev "have agreed in several months in Moscow to continue what we have achieved in these past three days. I believe there is reason for both hope and optimism." Gorbachev, during a nearly two-hour meeting with the press, said the summit may have demonstrated that the superpow -i I I ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO Raisa and Mikhail Gorbachev Wave goodbye as they board an Aeroflot plane at Andrews Air Force Base.

Star Wars defense program so they might reach a historic strategic arms reduction treaty in Moscow next year. The apparent compromise over the Strategic Defense Initiative capped three days of meetings marked by an extraordinary air of good personal feelings between the leaders and shared optimism that their countries could chart a course toward better relations. In a joint statement, Reagan said he had accepted "with pleasure" Gorbachev's invitation to hold their fourth summit in Moscow during the first half of 1988, when Gorbachev By James McCartney 'KNIGHT-RIDDER NEWSPAPERS WASHINGTON The key to what happened at the 13th U.S.-Soviet summit that ended here Thursday was a quiet, behind-the-scenes surrender by Mikhail Gorbachev. For all practical purposes, according to senior administration officials, he agreed to allow the United States to do whatever it may want to research and test a Star Wars missile defense system. At the Reykjavik, Iceland, summit meeting last year, Gorbachev refused to negotiate with the United States on any arms control issues as long as President Reagan stood by the Strategic Defense Initiative.

But Gorbachev abandoned that position 5 1, I I v. 5 jo Si" a 1 far Eases Up ANALYSIS on Feb. 28, clearing the way for the historic intermediate-range weapons treaty signed Tuesday. He abandoned it again Thursday. And that could clear the way for a 50 percent reduction in strategic weapons.

Soviet officials here said Gorbachev became convinced that Reagan was so determined to pursue an all-out SDI research program that it would be fruitless to continue efforts to try to change his mind. The position change was papered over in a joint statement issued by the two sides. The key words in the statement were that SDI testing would be permitted "as required." '-srhti -ir ft t) on According to American officials, those words were chosen so that each side can decide for itself what may be "required" to develop a defensive system against missiles. Gorbachev and other Soviet officials are rationalizing the shift by claiming that the question of SDI testing will be adequately covered by a joint U.S.-Soviet commitment to observe the terms of the 1972 Anti-Ballistic missile treaty. Reagan and Gorbachev, officials said, will issue new instructions to arms control negotiators in Geneva to develop the exact wording for such an agreement.

Negotiators will also be instructed to MORE: See GORBACHEV on PAGE A10 Champagne Celebrates New Bridge Some Motorists Cross Just for the Fun of It By Michael Hartranft JOURNAL STAFF WRITER Traffic was rolling across the Paseo del Norte bridge at midafter-noon Thursday after state and local leaders toasted champagne to celebrate its opening. And despite concerns about rush-hour prospects for the Second Street-Paseo intersection Thursday night, westbound commuters appeared surprisingly at ease with the route. Some motorists made U-turns at the end of Paseo at Eagle Ranch Road, and headed back east. Apparently, they were just riding over the bridge for the fun of it. "There's enough bridge here to give credit to everybody," state Attorney General Hal Stratton told about 250 gathered for a dedication ceremony earlier in the day.

"And I think everybody here deserves some of it." Stratton, representing Gov. Garrey Carruthers, was among the large cast of state and local officials on hand for the 45-minute event. People in attendance had parked their cars three abreast on the eastbound bridge approach. The vehicles stretched from the bridge about halfway to Coors Boulevard. Following a toast with champagne, they used oversized scissors to cut a ribbon extended across the bridge's eastbound lanes, and then joined a motorcade for the first tour of the Paseo route.

The opening of the bridge and 2Vi miles of six-lane highway ends almost three decades of wrangling MORE: See BRIDGE on PAGE A3 near the Utah-Arizona border. Page B3. The orientation sessions are intended to tell aid recipients the steps they're expected to take toward getting off aid rolls. If recipients failed to attend an orientation after the first letter, they were sent another letter and given a second chance. If they failed to respond a second time, sanctions were imposed.

"The vast majority of our sanctions are people who failed to show up at the orientation session," Martinez said. "If they don't show up, it would seem those individuals are not in critical need of their benefits." Many of the aid recipients probably have had outside jobs they hadn't reported for fear of losing their benefits, he said. They either couldn't attend the sessions because of their jobs or didn't want to risk being MORE: See HUNDREDS on PAGE All By David Staats OF THE JOURNAL'S CAPITOL BUREAU SANTA FE Roughly 10 percent of welfare recipients ordered to take part in a new, mandatory work registration program have been dropped from the welfare rolls for failing to comply, officials say. Through October, 319 people had their benefits "sanctioned" reduced or eliminated out of nearly 3,300 enrolled in Gov. Garrey Carruthers welfare reform program, called Project Forward.

Incomplete figures show the number facing sanctions rose to 389 in November. An updated total enrollment was not available. Larry Martinez, coordinator of Project Forward in the Human Services Department, said most of the sanctioned recipients failed to respond to two letters directing them to attend an orientation session.
