The article argues Senate rejection of SALT II risks undermining U S credibility and the bipartisan push for Moscow arms limits. It weighs consequences of amendments, Soviet reactions, and President Carter's stance, warning that changing the treaty could damage trust and weaken deterrence.
The piece analyzes how the SALT II treaty may move through the U.S. Senate, with Carter’s plan facing delays and amendments. It foresees a drawn out process, Senate linkage to broader US-Soviet relations, and possible postponement until after the 1980 election to avoid weakening negotiations.
