The "Foreign Relations of the United States "volumes of the series
include all records needed to provide comprehensive documentation
of major foreign policy decisions and actions of the United States
Government.The documentation in this volume illuminates the
sustained high-level attention to the negotiations and the
difficulties involved in establishing agreement--first on U.S.
Government positions and negotiating strategies and then with the
Soviet Union. This volume picks up where "Foreign Relations,"
1969-1976, Vol. XXXII, SALT I, 1969-1972 (Print ISBN:
9780160784019) leaves off, with the Nixon administration working to
establish objectives and negotiating positions beginning in October
1972. This work is represented primarily through the internal
memoranda drafted by National Security Council staff members; the
formal interagency process is reflected in minutes of the
Verification Panel and the National Security Council, with the
subsequent decisions reflected in six National Security Decision
Memoranda. As in previous volumes, the reader encounters
extraordinary working relationships between top U.S. and Soviet
interlocutors in the form of Henry Kissinger's backchannel with
Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin and his negotiations with Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, as well as Nixon's summit with
Brezhnev in June 1974, a period in which his presidency was
collapsing. Throughout these three administrations, critics of the
SALT II deliberations warned of the implications for the strategic
balance. In a time of rapid modernization and expansion in Soviet
strategic forces, they were especially anxious about the divergence
between the United States and Soviet Union when it came to missile
throw-weight, an asymmetry of particular concern with the advent of
MIRV'd ICBMs. The selections in the this volume include letters
from Senator Henry Jackson outlining his concerns; NSC minutes and
other memoranda of conversation portray him as a constant thorn in
the side of the White House and the Department of State.While the
editor believes this volume stands on its own, it is best read in
conjunction with several other volumes. "Foreign Relations,"
1969-1976, Vol. XXXII, SALT I, 1969-1972 (Print ISBN:
9780160784019), documents the decision-making and negotiations on
the limitation of strategic arms from the beginning of the first
Nixon administration through the signing of the Treaty on the
Limitation of Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems and the Interim
Agreement on Certain Measures With Respect to the Limitation of
Strategic Offensive Arms at the June 1972 Moscow Summit. In
addition, a number of volumes print documentation in full that is
presented in part in this volume include documentation relating to
Brezhnev's June 1973 visit to the United States, Kissinger's March
and April 1974 visits to the Soviet Union, and Nixon's June 1974
meetings with Brezhnev in Moscow is printed in full in "Foreign
Relations," "1969-1976, Vol. XV, Soviet Union, June 1972-August
