Summary

States that as part of the strategic arms reduction negotiations (START) the United States and the Soviet Union should: (1) place the highest priority on eliminating the fear of a first-strike by either nation; and (2) seek a verifiable agreement that produces a stable strategic relationship by ensuring that a first-strike would not give the attacking nation even a hypothetical advantage.
