Abstract
Harold Brown and Lynn E. Davis (1984) propose a strategy for arms control that they refer to as “Overall Equivalence”, This strategy requires the United States and Soviet Union to agree to overall limits on nuclear weapons systems for each side instead of individual limits for each type of weapon, as in the past. Brown and Davis suggest three such Overall Equivalence limits:
-
(1)
Total Equivalent Missile and Bomber Warheads not to exceed 6500;
-
(2)
Total Equivalent Throw-Weight not to exceed 8,000,000 lbs.;
-
(3)
Total Missile Warheads (excluding Bomber Warheads) not to exceed 6000.
