Ten years ago, the United States and the
Soviet Union made the historic decision to
open the strategic arms limitations talks, or
SALT. The purpose of SALT, then as now, is
not to gain a unilateral advantage for either
nation, but to protect the security of both
nations, to reverse the costly and dangerous
momentum of the nuclear arms race, to
preserve a stable balance of nuclear forces,
and to demonstrate to a concerned world that
we are determined to help preserve the peace
If the Soviet Union continues to.
According to President Carter, what was the
purpose of SALT-or strategic arms limitations
talks?
O to eliminate nuclear weapons entirely
O
to protect the security of the Soviet Union and
the United States
O to state how and when countries could use
nuclear weapons
to end the Cold War
