A4 National A16-21, B20 Support for catastrophic illness insurance is expected from President Reagan, for a program much like one proposed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Administration officials said. A1 Selling water rights is more common in the arid West as the demand for water in urban areas outpaces supplies in mountain rivers and reservoirs, and the increase has prompted debate. A1 Streamlining export controls that the nation maintains chiefly to keep high technology out of Soviet hands is the goal of sweeping proposals that were announced by the Commerce Department. A1 The dollar was battered in waves of heavy selling after Treasury Secretary James A. Baker 3d said no meeting of the Group of Five finance ministers was planned to stabilize the currency. D1 A Vatican commission of 3 bishops has been appointed to evaluate the governing arrangement in Seattle, where Archbishop Raymond G. Hunthausen was superseded by an auxiliary bishop in a disciplinary move. A16 A ban on Federal aid for abortions or to groups that counsel clients about such services is the crux of a new legislative proposal that the President endorsed late last month, sources said.

A12 Washington applauded Moscow for its decision to free 140 political prisoners, calling it ''an important step'' and urging further releases as a way toward improving Soviet-American relations. A12 Robert McFarlane's sense of failure at living up to his own standards, rather than his fear of pending investigations, prompted his apparent suicide attempt, say people sympathetic to the former national security adviser who are familiar with his mental outlook. A1 When Mr. McFarlane overdosed on drugs, he was attempting suicide, the police say, but they said they had ended their investigation because there were no grounds for criminal charges. A16 Valium seldom causes death but is commonly used in suicide attempts, experts said. One doctor said it was ''the best thing for a would-be suicide to take,'' because it can leave a person with another chance at life. A17 Washington's policy on South Africa has failed, according to a panel appointed by the Reagan Administration to evaluate America's ''constructive engagement'' policy toward South Africa.

A20 Stanford began a fund-raising drive to raise $1.1 billion in five years, the largest amount ever sought by an American university from private sources. The school's president called the move ''audacious.'' B11 Television condom advertisements were advocated by the Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop, who said condoms were the best protection from the AIDS virus for those who ''will not practice abstinence or monogamy.''
