Baker, Kozyrev discuss deep cuts

Article Abstract:

The US and Russia, represented by James Baker and Andrei Kozyrev, respectively, met several times in Feb and Mar 1992 to agree on reductions in expenditures for strategic weapons in both countries. Although the two countries agreed on general points as embodied in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty or START, there were still certain minor differences between the proposals. Russia wanted a more comprehensive ban while the US preferred to do it gradually. At any rate, one major point of agreement was the establishment of a ballistic missile early warning device.

GAO study outlines obstacles to Soviet warhead dismantlement

Article Abstract:

Commonwealth states of the former Soviet Union are entitled to American aid for the dismantling of Soviet warheads on signing a Safety, Security, and Dismantlement (SSD) agreement with the US. According to the director of international affairs issues for the GAO's National Security and International Affairs Division, Joseph Kelley, Russia is averse to US supervision of warhead dismantlement in the absence of reciprocal arrangements. Though the US is not amenable to Russian inspection, US atomic arms experts do not consider it an impossibility.

Clinton to seek TMD understanding with Yeltsin at Moscow summit

Article Abstract:

The Clinton administration has intensified its efforts to forge an agreement with Russia on the testing and use of theater defense (TMD) systems before the Moscow summit meeting scheduled for May 9-10, 1995. The administration hopes to encourage Russia to declare that testing and deployment of TMD systems do not violate the principles of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty of 1972 (ABM). The administration has been receiving strong criticisms that TMD testing contravenes the ABM since such systems can be used to intercept strategic missiles.
