Baker's specific objections to the treaty appeared to offer little hope of eventual compromise with the Administration. He urged, for example, that the Soviets be required to dismantle their 308 huge S59 and SS-18 missile launchers. Their firepower, said Baker, is "equal to all of our strategic ballistic missile systems put together."
