Abstract:
Any arms control treaty delivered to Congress will be subject to far more scrutiny on its verification provisions than SALT II. U.S. negotiators simply may state to Congress that there is an increasing range of problems which cannot be verified. Congress then must determine whether the agreement is acceptable. To this end, candor about Soviet violations and U.S. verification capabilities is indispensable.
