Carter weighs SALT II delay amid Afghan crisis
President Carter considers delaying final Senate action on the SALT II pact while pursuing ratification this year. A White House aide says the overall goal remains ratification, arguing nuclear arms control benefits the United States even if U.S.-Soviet ties strain. Carter meets National Security Council amid Afghan and Iranian crises and awaits Deputy Secretary Warren Christopher’s Europe talks. The Afghan invasion fuels SALT opposition but strengthens voices favoring delay or shelving the treaty. Carter in New Year remarks predicts a strong decade ahead for the U.S. and global stability.
