...Vladivostok accord as spelled out by the President is certainly better than if disagreement had resulted and no limits were to be placed on strategic offensive weapons. The limits are not as low as we wanted. I include in the word we the U.S. Defense establishment, which I understand would like to have seen reductions in the strategic forces of both superpowers. One can hope for such reductions at an earlier date than foreshadowed in the Vladivostok statement. It is worth recalling that a reduction in ABM sites from two to one followed only two years after the ABM treaty...
...SALT accord in essence provides for equal ceilings of 2,400 on the number of iCBMs, SLBMs and heavy bombers, and 1,320 on the number of MlRVed missiles each side can have over the next ten years. The accord thus puts a medium-term cap on the numbers of certain types of offensive strategic launchers. It provides the appearance of equality. It does not, however, deal with throw-weight-the most useful, verifiable measure of relative missile capability either MlRVed or un-MITRVed...
...Kissinger has indicated that the new Soviet Backfire bomber is not to be defined as being a heavy bomber. It is therefore difficult to see how the accord reduces in a meaningful way the U.S. strategic-defense problem posed by the new family of Soviet missiles and bombers, which are completing testing and whose deployment is now beginning. If we do not add new strategic programs to those now planned, the U.S. will end the ten-year period of the accord with less than half the MlRVed throw-weight and less than half the un-MIRVed throw-weight...
...Moscow summit last summer, in part because Brezhnev was apparently stalling until the Watergate crisis was resolved, in part because each side feared that the other was demanding permanent nuclear superiority. After visiting Moscow in October, Kissinger said that he was cautiously optimistic that a permanent SALT accord can be signed when Brezhnev visits Washington next summer. To that end, Ford and Brezhnev spent several hours exploring the general principles that will guide the U.S. and Soviet officials during the treaty negotiations. During the course of the talks, the Russians issued a statement, approved by Ford, that they were determined...
...exempt institutions like Harvard. And Harvard, the largest and best-endowed university in the country also leads in discrimination. Therefore I argued that Harvard (and other educational institutions) should have their tax exemptions removed until such time as the university is willing to treat women equally or indeed accord equal treatment to all human beings...
