In this new circuit just run a line from the first IC's RO1 and R02 pins to the same pins on the second IC. This will give you a master reset on both IC's at the same time. I am not sure if you would have to do this with with the "real circuit" or not, but Lodin makes a good point that it may be necessary to do it on the "real circuit" also. In the case of the "real circuit" I would use an RC Network like Chris pointed out. To do this you would run a capacitor from VCC to the R01 and R02 pins tied together and then run a resitor from there to ground.
This master reset methods decribed are going to have to be done with a majority of IC's in Multisim because most of the ones I have encountered do come up random.
I hope this helps. All these ideas are good ones and it is up to you to decide how to use them.
