Abstract
Unresolved compliance problems have become a major irritant in relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, contributing to the Reagan Administration’s decision in May 1986 to end its policy of “interim restraint” towards the SALT I Interim Agreement and the SALT II Treaty. These compliance problems, such as the construction of the Krasnoyarsk radar, have not been satisfactorily resolved in the forum created to address SALT compliance questions—the Standing Consultative Commission (SCC).
