Plans To Build MX Missile Saves SALT Pact From Defeat
President Carter’s MX missile decision saved the US Soviet SALT treaty from likely defeat in the Senate. Majority Leader Byrd said rejecting MX would have killed SALT and noted he might have voted against ratification. Byrd warned the treaty still needs two thirds, and he may travel to the Soviet Union in July to discuss SALT.
