Secretary of State George Shultz and Special Arms Adviser Paul Nitze argued against handing the Soviets a propaganda victory. The Joint Chiefs of Staff contended that SALT II has resulted in at least some Soviet restraint in stockpiling offensive weapons, and that the U.S. would be at a disadvantage in an all-out arms race. The Chiefs pushed for various "gray-area solutions," one of which the President accepted...
