--WE WELCOME SOVIET RET RN O THE El "LUS U.S NON-
STRATEGIC SYSTEMS FROM HE IMITS ON NDVS AND WF IPONS
PROPOSED BY THE SOVIET IDE IN START. OWEVER NE ARE
DISAPPOINTED THAT THE SOVIET SIDE CONTINUED TO PROPOSE
THAT THOSE SYSTEMS BE LIMITED IN A START AGREEMENT
(E.G. IN THE FORM OF A U.S. COMMITMENT NOT TO INCREASE
THE NUMBER OF SUCH SYSTEMS WITHIN RANGE OF SOVIET
TERRITORY). THE SOVIET PROPOSAL WOULD CONSTRAIN U.S.
SYSTEMS DEPLOYED IN SUPPORT OF U.S. ALLIES WITHOUT
CONSTRAINING SOVIET SYSTEMS OF COMPARABLE CAPABILITY
THAT THREATEN THOSE ALLIES. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

TOWARD AN AGREEMENT TO CODIFY 50 PERCENT REDUCTIONS IN
STRATEGIC NUCLEAR FORCES, WE ARE PREPARED TO WORK ON AN
INTERIM FIRST STEP TOWARD THAT OBJECTIVE. WE DO NOT
BELIEVE IT IS NECESSARY TO RAISE THE NUMBERS AS MUCH AS
THE SOVIET SIDE HAS PROPOSED IN ORDER TO TAKE A FIRST
STEP.
