...Report to the President on Gasoline Supplies for California," which suggested that Brown could act on his own to relieve the problem. By relaxing some state environmental regulations that are stricter than federal standards, such as on the lead content of gasoline, and strictly enforcing the 55 m.p.h. speed limit, California could save an estimated 55,000 bbl. of gasoline per day. That would certainly help bridge the gap between supply and demand: the state's gasoline supplies in May probably will fall about 70,000 bbl. per day below those of a year earlier. At Carter...

Toward the end of the summer, the policymakers began looking for a way to build into the Vladivostok limit of 1,320 total MIRVed systems a new subceiling just for land-based MIRVs, both heavy and light. This was a crucial shift in negotiating tactics. It meant that the U.S. was finally giving up on cuts in the Soviet heavy force. But it also meant, if it were accepted, that the Russians would have less "freedom to mix" between land-based and submarine-launched MIRVs. Aaron and Hyland first sounded out the Soviets on the possibility of a MIRVed ICBM...
