Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that the President should instruct the U.S. representatives at the arms reduction talks to inform the Soviets that: (1) the United States is willing to reduce its total strategic nuclear delivery vehicles and its total MIRVed launchers, ballistic missiles, and ICBM's by specified numbers if the Soviet Union will make corresponding reductions in its strategic force levels; and (2) each country should begin the reductions immediately and that the reductions should be verifiable. States that both countries should agree to a mutual ban on testing and deploying: (1) intercontinental and intermediate range ballistic missiles with new reentry vehicles; and (2) cruise missiles armed with multiple warheads. Expresses the sense of the Congress that the President should propose to the Soviet Union at the intermediate range nuclear weapons negotiations that: (1) both countries agree to a limit on the number of such weapons; (2) such limit be reduced by 50 percent by 1990 and by an additional 25 percent by 1992; and (3) both countries agree to eliminate all such weapons from Europe by 1994.
