Abstract
The United States and the Soviet Union are negotiating in the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) for the limitation and reduction of strategic weaponry. The process is proceeding very slowly, and evidently the George Bush Administration has set priorities on reduction in conventional arms ahead of reduction in strategic arms. Nevertheless, a 450-page Joint Draft Text (JDT) exists, with disagreements ‘bracketed’. The content of the negotiating positions has been described in other chapters in this volume and hence will not be summarised here.1

Strobe Talbott, The Master of the Game: Paul Nitze and the Nuclear Peace (New York, 1988).
Frank J. Gaffney, ‘Test Ban Would Be a Real Tremor to U.S. Security’, Defense News, 5 September 1988, pp. 36–7. Specifically, he said: ‘The more time wasted on discussions and experimentation of [yield] monitoring techniques irrelevant to the verification of an environment in which there are no legal tests, the easier it will be to stave off demands for the more constraining comprehensive test ban.’
