A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate with respect to a halt by the United States and the Soviet Union of further production and deployment of nuclear warheads while beginning strategic arms negotiations.

Summary

Expresses the sense of the Senate that the President should adopt an arms control package that includes the following goals: (1) limit strategic weapons by negotiating a freeze on testing, production, and deployment of such weapons through 1985; (2) reduce existing nuclear weapons stockpiles by balanced incremental reductions; (3) prevent the spread of nuclear weapons by establishing additional nonproliferation measures; (4) make a commitment to bring all nations possessing nuclear weapons into the arms control negotiations as soon as possible; and (5) address the question of arms control in its totality by continuing good faith negotiations to reduce nuclear weapons in Europe, by emphasizing expanded U.S.-Soviet negotiations on conventional weapons, and by restraining conventional arms transfers to the Third World.
