Constraining ICBM Force Reconstitution
The U.S. START Delegation should indicate to the Soviets
that we intend in the negotiations to deal with the problems
posed by non-deployed missiles. The Delegation should point out
that non-deployed missiles have the potential to augment the
strategic capability provided by deployed missiles. Pending
further guidance, the Delegation can use discretion to discuss
the problems noted above (e.g., reconstitution refire, rapid
reload, and breakout) . However, the Delegation should not
discuss specific proposals for resolving these problems, or
take actions which could prejudice U.S. options for dealing
with these problems, without specific additional guidance.
Additional Work
The START Interdepartmental Group will provide for NSC
review by July 23 its recommendations with respect to
constraining Soviet ICBM force reconstitution and addressing
the problems posed by non-deployed missiles.
