The Soviets are seeking to encourage By Senator Strom Thurmond President Nixon has announced --V a joint agreement with the Soviet Union to concentrate on negotiating an ABM limitation pact at the SALT disarmament talks. Although a limitation pact on offensive weapon dissystems will also be under cussion, the clear emphasis of the announcement was that major attention would be given to the limitation of ABM systems first. Thus the announcement was closer to the Soviet bargaining position than to the American position. The Soviets have been demanding that an ABM limitation be negotiated first, before offensive weapons are discussed. The United States position has been that offensive and defensive weapons systems arc intimately connected, and that neither could be considered in isolation. The Soviets have won their point, for all practical purposes. The United States has therefore set out upon a dangerous course. The President is risking high stakes in the hope of obtaining a meaningful agreement on reducing the need for a massive U.S. defense posture. In this position, he is undoubtedly privy to information which is not available to the ordinary citizen. et neither the history of the Soviet nor the fruits of arms build-u- p first-strik- sit-uati- & British-- 1 srael literature.

Intelligence reports reached the United States as early as 1963 that the Soviets were planning to install their first ABM defense system around Moscow. In an historic secret session of the Senate I argued thatthe United States should immediately begin to build its own ABM system, but no action was taken. By 1966 the Soviets had completed initial design and testing and began to NOTHING TO SELL NOTHING TO BUY. 0 NO COMPETITION 7 This perfect answer to your assured financial security.

Of course, crash programs have seldom provided satisfactory answers for anything. They nevertheless arouse in the public a mammoth euphoria of false hopes which can be readily exploited by political sycophants. When these fail there is a public reaction of frustration and boiling indignation. It is easy to blame the failures on the system, and that creates an ideal climate to demand a new system under a new constitution.

Moreover, the Soviet Navy had been rapidly modernized and increased to a point where it soon may threaten our superiority on the seas. If our nuclear weapons are neutralized by SALT, the Soviets would be left with an unmatched strength on land and sea. Now that we have begun to build an ABM at this late hour, the Soviets are seeking to stop us, or to slow us down with an ABM limitation pact.
