Perle attacks SALT II policy as pro Soviet stance
In a House hearing Richard Perle argues continued U S compliance with SALT II would alienate Congress, risk future arms control, and align the United States with the Soviets. Rep Norman Dicks defends keeping limits, while Rep Les Aspin notes U S forces advances without breaking SALT I. Perle calls an unrestrained arms race rubbish.
