Strategic agreements and the CTB Treaty: striking the right balance

Article Abstract:

Pres Bill Clinton's administration is addressing threats due to weapons of mass destruction via a three-component strategy which includes prevention and reduction, deterrence of potential enemies to use the weapons and missile defense. The objective is to balance the three components and recognize how each component affects each other. To be effective, the Russian Duma should approve the START II agreement, the right should be de-alerted, the US Congress should agree to close military bases and the Comprehensive Test Ban should be ratified.
