In December 1979 the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan virtually guaranteed that the U.S. Senate would not ratify the SALT II treaty. In September 1983 Soviet air-defense units shot down a Korean passenger plane, prompting Secretary of State George Shultz to throttle back his effort to re- engage the U.S.S.R. in quiet diplomacy.
