WASHINGTON — The presidential campaigns of George Bush and Michael Dukakis have agreed tentatively on Sept. 25 as the first debate between the two candidates, a Dukakis aid said yesterday.
Both debates will be general in subject matter, in contrast to four years ago when the first was on domestic policy and the second covered defense and foreign policy, said Mark Kumbu. Bush's campaign spokesman, said
Paul Brountas, chairman of the Dukakis campaign, said the two contenders would face each other in a televised debate at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Brountas said the second debate would be either on
Oct. 13 or 14, depending on the length of the American playoff series, which will be televised in prime time.
The two campaigns have not reached agreement on the location for the second presidential debate and the vice president debate.
The debate between vote presidential candidates Dan Quayle and Lloyd Benten is expected to take place in October.
Meanwhile, NBC News president Michael Gartner issued a statement saying the network will not be able to television the first debate live because it will conflict with other networks and games. The network plans to run a tape of the debate.

WASHINGTON — The United States and the Soviet Union have scheduled high-level talks to survey prospects for improving superpower relations and promoting arms control measures during Reagan's twelfth months. Office, sources said yesterday.
The talks will be Sept. 22-23 in Washington between Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Edward Shewardadze. They will focus on arms and the US-Afghan Army's withdrawal from Afghanistan, three U.S. officials told The Associated Press.
Negotiators in Geneva are meet-
on proposals to sharply reduce long-range nuclear weapons and to limit weapons tests. They also are trying to set up East-West talks on cutbacks in conventional forces in Europe.
After the session between Shultz and Sheardavandz, U.S. and Soviet experts will meet in Washington in a joint effort to slow the proliferation of ballistic missiles in the East and other areas of the world.
The United States has expressed satisfaction with the pace of the Afghan government, but is concerned about the continuing conflict between the Afghan government and a military spillover in neighboring Pakistan.
Surveying other regional problems, Shultz intends to question Shevardaznade about prospects for the withdrawal of Vietnamese forces from Cambodia and to review U.S. led diplomatic efforts to work out a settlement in Angola to constitute independence for Namibia.
Shultz and Shevardnadze last met in May in Geneva to iron out implementation of the U.S. Soviet treaty banning intermediate-range nuclear weapons and then issued an order that General Secretary Mikhail S. Gorbachev at the Moscow summit at the end of the month.
The theirs sessions over the years on arms control paved the way for the historic weepons-ban treaty and military in欠U.S. Soviet relations.
