...muted. He secured from the House a resolution that seemed to support his policy. He won a lottery draft system-which an earlier Congress had refused to give President Johnson-and this may further dampen war dissent. He scored victories on other security matters: authority and initial funds to deploy anti-ballistic missiles and Senate approval of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty...
Nuclear Ban. According to the agreement, the Ryukyu Islands will revert to Japan in 1972. The U.S., however, will retain the right to maintain military bases there. These bases will be subject to the terms of the U.S.-Japanese Mutual Cooperation and Security Treaty, which forbids the U.S. to deploy nuclear weapons without the approval of the Japanese. The U.S. will remove its nuclear weapons from the island before Japan takes control. If the Viet Nam war is not ended by then, the U.S. reserved the option to ask Tokyo's permission to fly combat support missions from Okinawa...
...other achieves another technical breakthrough that will start a new spiral in the arms race. Both are now working on MIRVs, missiles carrying clusters of independently targetable warheads, which would multiply the destructive ability of each ICBM. The U.S. is probably ahead in MIRV development and could deploy the weapon by late 1970. In ABM, on the other hand, the Soviet Union has ringed Moscow with some missiles, while the U.S. is still in the research stage on its Safeguard ABM system...
...this point, then, a weapons "freeze" is unlikely. A freeze would guarantee U. S. superiority. The Soviets would probably turn down an agreement which gives the U. S. a first strike capacity and the right to deploy Poseidon and Minuteman III missiles, both MIRVed. A limitation on ABMs would be easier to agree on and easier to enforce than an agreement on MIRVs. The Nixon Administration has offered to give up the ABMs if the Russians stopped work on the SS-9. It has declined to say that it would do the same if the Russians gave up their ABMs...
According to Government experts, the Soviets now have in place or are preparing to deploy a total of 1,350 land-based ICBMs, for the first time putting Moscow ahead of the 1,054-missile U.S. arsenal of Minuteman and Titan II ICBMs. The new intelligence data, obtained mainly by spy satellites, also purport to show that the Soviets are testing new types of intercontinental and medium-range offensive missiles, as well as more sophisticated anti-ballistic radar missile defensive systems. What is more, the Russians are test-flying a new swing-wing bomber similar to the nearly operational...
