China Continued from page 1A hopping journey to China. Reagan's two-day 'visit to Hawaii was intended as a test stop so that he and his could adjust to the change of time zones on the way to China. But a White House official said that Reagan's session with Adm. William J.

Crowe of the Pacific Command also was designed as a signal to China of the importance the United States attaches to its naval presence lh (he Pacific Ocean. Larry. Speakes, the White House spokesman, said Crowe would give Reagan a half-hour briefing on "the overall threat the military Is prepared to defend against" in the Pacific region and also a "general sense of how China fits in with the overall security picture." The reported treaty agreement is the result of months of negotiations, which accelerated recently as the date for Reagan's departure approached. -An initial effort to conclude an agreement occurred when Premier Zhao Ziyang of China visited the United States in January. Earlier this month, U.S.

officials said they were pessimistic that an accord could be reached, and they said the failure would "reduce the luster" of Reagan's trip. More recently, U.S. negotiators in Peking gave senior officials some basis for optimism. The difficulty in the negotiations has a U.S. law requiring guarantees against the export to other countries of reprocessed nuclear fuel that could be used for nuclear weapons.

Although China has joined the International Atomic Energy Agency, which provides for some safeguards on nuclear proliferation, it has refused to sign the Non-Proliferatlon treaty, which requires more stringent inspection, guarantees and other safeguards. China has argued that obtaining U.S. consent for the use or export of high- for a VS. company to help China build a reactor. At stake are billions of dollars of investment and the possibility of thousands of Americans working in China to help develop nuclear power, according to administration officials.

They say that this alone could help alter the character of US-Chinese relations, drawing the two countries into a stronger friendship. VS. officials have announced that Reagan will sign two other agreements in China. The first Is a tax treaty enabling companies to avoid being taxed by both the United States and China. The second is an accord that would restore the cultural exchanges suspended by China last year after the defection of a Chinese tennis player to the United States.

Administration officials have said It also Is likely that China will agree to an offer by Reagan to have a Chinese astronaut or at least a Chinese payload, aboard a U.S. space shuttle flight In the next few years. grade nuclear fuel would Infringe on its sovereignty. Administration officials gave no indication yesterday of how the dispute over "consent; rights" had been resolved. But they insisted that there bad been no flexibility on the UJS.

side because of the law. The indications were, therefore, that China had given In on the U.S. demand. The nuclear accord is one of perhaps two dozen matters to be discussed by Reagan and Chinese leaders. These include the status of Taiwan, the sale of VS.

weapons to China, scientific and cultural exchanges, and probably most important, trade In particular, China desires U.S. permission to import more high-technology goods and to export more textile products to the United States. China plans to build 12 nuclear reactors in the next few years. France has agreed to develop two and the United States hopes that U.S. companies can bid on the 10 others.

in metro-area policy decisions. Including recommendations on appointments to the Metropolitan Transit Commission and the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, Perplch said. fell Your Lacking a consensus on any finalist, Perplch wanted someone he trusts to take the Job, Johnson said. "I got the distinct Impression that he (Perplch) feels more strongly than before about the Importance of the whole metropolitan structure and that he wants to see it work well," Johnson said. Isaacs had Intended to resign May 2, but he said yesterday that he will hold the job until Gardebring can take over.

Gardebring, 36, was born and reared In Bismarck, N.D. She received a bachelor's degree In philosophy from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, In 1969 and worked for a year as a reporter for the Bismarck Tribune before entering the University of Minnesota Law School. After obtaining a law degree in 1973, she joined the staff of Minnesota Attorney General Warren Spannaus. She then was assigned to the MPCA, Shere she worked on several envi-mmental issues, including nuclear power and the proposed mining of copper and. nickel ore in" northern, c- -In December 1976, during his first stint as governor, Perplch named Gardebring to be the MPCA's executive director.

As the top MPCA staff officer, she became closely involved in the first major efforts to deal with acid rain and hazardous chemical wastes. While her advocacy of environmental programs earned her considerable respect among state conservationists, she did not greatly alienate business and Industrial groups. When Al Independent-Republican, became governor in January 1979, Gardebring sought to be reappointed to the MPCA post. Qule chose to replace her with 'Terry Hoffman, an Independent-Republi-tan. Gardebring became director of enforcement for the Chicago-based Ve-gional office of the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a post she held from 1979 to 1982. She lost that job after Republican Ronald Reagan became president, and for a year she practiced private law in Chicago. Shortly after Perplch was elected, he announced that Gardebring again would bead the MPCA. She resumed Ihat job in January 1983. In addition to her position at the MPCA, Gardebring is a top adviser to Perplch in her role as chairman of his subcabinet on energy, environment and natural resources.

He also named her as the Minnesota representative on the Midwest Interstate Compact, which plans to develop a site for disposing of materials contaminated with small amounts of radioactivity. Gardebring said yesterday that she accepted the Metro Council post to move Into new issues and to "respond to the governor's concerns about Improving metropolitan governance." She will head a subcabinet on polltan affairs and take a strong role As the chief planning body for the seven-county metropolitan area, the Metropolitan Council approves, and sometimes denies, cities' development decisions. As council chairman, Gardebring said, her first move will be to mend fences. "The council seems to be more divided than It has previously been. There seems to be more acrimony between core-city members and the suburban members," she said.

the things I want to do initially is to try to bring people back together and get them talking In a more constructive way. I expect I will be on the road a good part of the time, talking to the communities and trying to find out what their concerns are." Other Issues that will have her attention include: Light rail transit Perplch, an advocate of light rail transit, wants progress on the Issue as soon as possible, Gardebring said. Solid waste The 'Metropolitan Council should take a larger role In preserving land and protecting ground water through development of alternatives to landfills, she said. Water quality Combined sewer pipes carrying storm water and sewage are the biggest threat to flshable and drinkable water, Gardebring said. The council must decide whether to make the tremendous investment required to separate them, she said.

The five finalists suggested for the chairman's job by a governor's search committee were Alice Rain-vllle, president of the Minneapolis City Council; Joan Campbell, a Metropolitan Council member; Robert Orth, a Ramsey County commissioner, Barbara Lukermann, a senior fel-. low at the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota, and Verne Johnson, retired vice president of corporate planning for General Mills. When they learned that Perplch did not intend to choose any of the five, members of the search committee met again yesterday at Perplch's request to approve Gardebrlng's candidacy. Curtis Johnson, executive director of the Citizens League and a member of the search committee, said yesterday that the committee had selected Gardebring as a semiflnallst But before the committee could Interview her, Perplch removed her name out of concern for replacing her at the pollution control agency, Johnson said.
