...proposals would have given the U.S. the right, denied in the SALT II draft, to deploy ICBMS as large as the U.S.S.R.'s huge SS-18. The Kremlin would have balked at such a treaty revision, and that made Baker's measure a killer amendment. For this reason, the committee rejected it, but only...

Without the pact, jittery West Europeans living only a few hundred miles from the Iron Curtain would not consent to the nuclear weaponry that nato so urgently needs, notably 1,000-mile range Pershing II and ground-based Cruise missiles capable of striking Soviet cities and military targets...

The U.S. proposed a compromise plan-carefully prearranged between Washington and Moscow-to deploy the unarmed observers of the 295-man United Nations Truce Supervision Organization in place of the U.N. Emergency Force...
