Senate Hurdle for SALT II Ratification in 1980
President Carter may sever SALT II from Cuba tensions but the treaty faces a tough Senate fight. Debates hinge on verification, defense spending, and timing. Byrd seeks floor action only with 67 votes. Baker signals under 60 ready to back. Tower predicts March or April debate. Church may end hearings and push changes, while a SALT I ratification with conditions could be explored if Cuba brigade remains.
