Clinton, Yeltsin make arms control gains before 'G-8' summit in Denver
Article Abstract:
A progress in arms control was the result of the Jun 20-22, 1997 summit between US Pres Bill Clinton and Russian Pres Boris Yeltsin. One of the key issues addressed was the states of the Standing Consultative Commission (SSC) which sets the difference between the theater missile defense (TMD) mechanisms and strategic missile defense systems. Another issue on focus was the ratification process of the treaty on nuclear non-proliferation called START II. The 'Summit of the Eight' by the G7 countries plus Russia discussed the range of arms control issues and called for more efforts against nuclear proliferation.

Dole, Republican platform criticize Clinton arms control policies
Article Abstract:
The Republican Party presidential nominee, Robert Dole, has criticised the Clinton government's arms control policies and maintains that little has been done to protect the US from the threat of ballistic missiles. The Republican Party supports the deployment of a national missile defense system by 2003. It also disagrees with the proposed comprehensive test ban treaty proposed by the Clinton administration, as continuation of maintenance and development of nuclear weapons is required to protect the country from rogue states.
