The Pentagon and its allies elsewhere in the Administration are pushing for a looser interpretation that would exempt the development and testing of an SDI system from the treaty's restrictions. The result, as fully intended, would be to render the ABM treaty worthless as the basis for a new deal with the Soviets. Sooner or later, Reagan is going to have to decide these issues. As in the past...
