"We don't expect any series of announcements or agreements, but rather an increased focus on solving issues," said Allan Gotlieb, Ca-; 'nadian ambassador to the United 'States. Reagan set the stage for his by announcing in his weekly "radio address Saturday that he is to Congress a request for billion for the Energy Depart-i: ment to implement the recommen-' dations of a joint U.S.-Canadian ''study on acid rain.

"We still want to see the color of Congress' money. On this issue we've still got a long way to go." Another tough issue on the agenda is the Pentagon's insistence that it has the right to designate the Northwest Passage as international waters to permit the passage of U.S. ships and planes without Canadian permission.

Canada was outraged when the U.S. Coast Guard sent an icebreaker through the Arctic straits in August 1985. Ambassador Gotlieb said his country was particularly con win snare me cost or a Diuion program for demonstrations of new technologies to reduce air pollution emissions. Negotiators have been working since last year on a new trade agreement between the two nations, the world's largest trading partners, which did $129 billion in trade last year. "Although much hard bargaining lies ahead," Reagan noted, "we are optimistic that a comprehensive plan mutually beneficial and advantageous to both sides can be hammered out this year.

"Our goal is a free trade agreement that will remove tariffs and non-tariff barriers between us," he said. "Spurring U.S.-Canadian trade and investment will improve our economies and strengthen our competitive ability in world markets." For both men, the summit comes at a crucial time. Each is beset with serious problems at home and could use an opportunity to demonstrate, however briefly, his leadership stature in an international setting. It is Reagan's first trip out of the country since the disclosure last November of the covert sale of U.S. arms to Iran and allegations of diversion of profits to Nicaraguan rebels.

And it follows by three days his defeat in Congress on the highway bill, which Congress enacted into law over his veto. provide a much-needed chance to stress his role as national leader after an embarrassing and politically damaging series of cabinet resignations amid scandals, an unemployment rate of nearly 10 percent despite his campaign promise of "jobs, jobs, jobs," and a huge federal deficit Mulroney's Progressive Conservative Party, which swept to power in September 1984 with the largest majority in Canadian history, now has only a 24 percent approval rating, the lowest of any of the country's three national parties. The prime minister has slightly more than two years before he must call a national election. Mulroney is in a delicate position: He must demonstrate his rapport with Reagan without appearing to be, in the words of some critics, a "sellout" who is "going to turn Canada into the 51st state." "The 12 months since the last summit have seen major bumps in the road from a Canadian point pf view," said Canadian Embassy spokesman John Fieldhouse. He said Canadian officials were feeling a "growing sense of betrayal" by the Reagan administration over such U.S.
