...basic U.S. proposal at the talks is for a flat limit on the number of nuclear delivery systems (land-based ICBMs, submarine-carried missiles, airborne bombs) that either side would be allowed to maintain. The suggested ceiling: 1,900. There would also be a "sub-limit" prohibiting the Soviets from assembling more than, say, 250 missiles in the size range of the huge SS-9, whose 25-megaton warheads can wipe out U.S. ICBMs even in the hardest silos. As part of the total U.S. package, the American delegation last year proposed that ABM systems be either banned outright...

...results all the more startling. Imbued with great faith in the U.S. political process, the delegates went to work with a vengeance to pick the reforms they wanted. They overloaded three high-speed Xerox machines with 1,500,000 sheets of draft resolutions, petitions and recommendations from committees, subcommittees, sub-subcommittees, task forces, subplenary task forces, caucuses and assorted alliances. An ecology task force thoughtfully arranged for the recycling of used documents at a nearby plant. A task force on race and minority groups split into caucuses for American Indians, black Americans, European Americans, Asian Americans, Spanish-speaking Americans...
