President Reagan taped a brief televised pitch Friday as part of the campaign to secure the 1994 World Cup soccer finals for the United States.

Ben Jarratt, an assistant White House press secretary, said the approximately one-minute videotape will be shown as part of the U.S. presentation in Zurich on Monday.

The U.S. presentation will be made by the U.S. Soccer Federation and World Cup USA 1994, a subsidiary of the federation. Officials representing Brazil and Morocco also will make presentations.
