Vice President Rifaat al-Assad of Syria, who arrived in Moscow for a ''friendly visit,'' and Vasily V. Kuznetsov, First Vice President of the Soviet Union, issued a statement today condemning what they called the ''adventurist'' United States policies in the Middle East, the official Soviet press agency Tass said. Tass said Mr. Assad and Mr. Kuznetsov urged the Palestine Liberation Organization to restore unity to its ranks and blamed the ''aggressive actions of Israel and the interventionist policy of the United States'' for the situation in the Middle East.

Officials of the Central Intelligence Agency concluded in 1966 and 1967 that United States bombing in North Vietnam was not only ineffective but also left the North Vietnamese with more transport and other military assets than they had before the bombs began to fall. The C.I.A. analysts came to believe that the Communists in both North Vietnam and South Vietnam were not suffering manpower or supply losses at a rate that would compel them to negotiate to end the war. These conclusions were in C.I.A. reports, now declassified, that have come to light during the pretrial period of a libel suit filed by Gen. William C. Westmoreland, commander of American forces in Vietnam from 1964 to 1968. General Westmoreland, now retired, contends that CBS News defamed him in a 1982 documentary that said he had conspired to withhold intelligence estimates indicating an increase in enemy forces in South Vietnam.

A Defense Department intelligence official yesterday said the Government was concerned that American advances in biotechnology might be ''turned against us'' by the Soviet Union and used to create exotic new germ weapons against which there might be no defense. Dr. John H. Birkner, a scientific and technical intelligence manager for the Defense Intelligence Agency, called upon the American biotechnology industry to cooperate with the Government in identifying technologies that may be dangerous and taking steps to keep them from potential adversaries. If such cooperation is not forthcoming, he said there is apt to be sharp conflict between manufacturers who want to export biotechnology and Government officials who have the task of ''rooting out all those who would cooperate with the enemy.'' ''In such a contest,'' he said, ''Government would probably prevail.''

In recent years, American Administrations pondering policy decisions have repeatedly been faced with choosing between Israeli and Saudi concerns. This time, the Reagan Administration took little time to decide to proceed with the urgent shipment of 400 Stinger antiaircraft missiles to Riyadh. It asserted that the Saudis needed the portable weapons immediately to help defend their shipping and oilfields against possible aerial attacks by Iran. Israel quickly announced its opposition to the shipments, saying that the missiles could be readily shifted for use against them, and could possibly fall into the hands of terrorists.

The consensus of intelligence sources here and at NATO military headquarters in Belgium is that the war between Iran and Iraq will be settled as it began in 1980 - in a series of costly land battles. Most analysts expect Iran to begin its long- threatened ''final offensive'' in the next two weeks. They cite as evidence the massing of Iranian forces on the Majnoon Islands in the marshes northeast of the Iraqi city of Basra and the movement of two divisions to Hamid to support ground operations. One result of extensive land operations, the sources believe, might be a decline in Iranian air attacks on tankers in the Persian Gulf. At present, they added, Iran does not have the air power to support a major offensive and simultaneously continue operations against shipping.

The United States has sent 400 Stinger antiaircraft missiles to Saudi Arabia, which plans to establish a protected zone for shipping along the western coast of the Persian Gulf, Administration officials said today. The officials said the Stinger missiles, along with 200 missile launchers, could be used to protect shipping, Saudi oilfields and important installations such as desalinization plants. Defense Department officials said the missiles would not arrive in Saudi Arabia until an announcement by President Reagan, which is expected Tuesday. Setting up the zone and defending it from Iranian aircraft or warships, officials said, will be the responsibility of Saudi Arabia and its allies in the Gulf Cooperation Council and will require only minimal United States support. Safety Zone in South The Saudis' concern has grown out of recent Iranian air attacks on neutral shipping near Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The attacks were in response to Iraq's hitting ships near Iran's main oil terminal in the northern gulf. Saudi Arabia and the other gulf states support Iraq in its nearly four-year-old war with Iran, a non-Arab country.

His voice choking with emotion, President Reagan led the nation in a state funeral today for the only American known to have perished in the Vietnam War who is still unidentified. Under gray skies, which occasionally dripped with rain, the unknown Vietnam casualty was pulled on a black caisson along a crowded seven-mile route from the Capitol and, 11 years after the war ended, was interred in the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery. Awarded Medal of Honor The serviceman, whom Mr. Reagan awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration, now lies in a crypt near unknown servicemen from the two World Wars and the Korean War. They had been awarded Medals of Honor by other Presidents. ''The unknown soldier who has returned to us today and whom we lay to rest is symbolic of all our missing sons,'' the President said in his eulogy. In Vietnam, 58,012 United States servicemen died.

U.S. sales of antiaircraft missiles to Saudi Arabia will be doubled by the Reagan Administration, Administration officials said. The Stinger missiles are intended for use against possible Iranian air attacks on oil tankers, oil fields and other installations. The decision was a response to the Saudi request for more missiles than had been designated in an emergency sale of 200 Stinger missiles and 100 shoulder-held launchers tentatively approved Friday by the Administration. (Page 1, Column 6.) Egyptians voted in the first parliamentary elections since Hosni Mubarak succeeded President Anwar el- Sadat in 1981. Four opposition parties were challenging Mr. Mubarak's National Democratic Party. Opponents said pro-Government crowds stuffed some ballot boxes, burned others, and chased voters from polling places. An opposition candidate was reportedly shot to death by her Government opponent. (1:4.)

The chief delegates of Iran and Iraq to the United Nations held out little hope today of a cease-fire in the Persian Gulf war. In separate interviews on the CBS News program ''Face the Nation,'' each diplomat repeated his nation's vow to persevere in the conflict.
