Reagan’s SALT II stance exposed by Perle’s influence
An editorial argues Reagan’s denunciation of the 1979 SALT II treaty reflects a hard line within the U.S. defense leadership led by Richard Perle. It questions Soviet compliance claims, warns of a U.S. buildup, and argues the move undermines arms control while signaling a broader ideological drive toward an arms race. Anthony Lewis of The New York Times News Service filed the piece.
