Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to simplify public consideration of some of the major issues of SALT I1 by aligning the arguments--for and against. Unfortunately, in the barrage of statements, speeches, and articles on SALT 11, there has, up to this point, been little attempt made to set forth the opposing arguments in a readily comprehensible fashion. It is hoped that this study will help to remedy this situation.
