This article examines START (Strategic arms reduction talks), a treaty for arms control being negotiated between the Soviet Union and United States. The author discusses the major provisions of START and analyzes the effect it would have on the military capabilities of both countries. Its implications for the U.S. strategic defense initiative, control for SLCMSs (sea-launched cruise missiles), and status of mobile ICBMs (inter-continental ballistic missiles) are addressed. An agenda for post-START nuclear arms control is proposed.
