on the full 64 Soviet violations:
It Is now fair to say that the Arms Control
Process has suffered a "broken back" ad-
ministered by the Soviets It is also most
reasonable to conclude 'that the Soviets
have torn up both SALT I and SALT II.
Indeed, the Reagan Administration unani-
mously agrees that the Soviets are conclu-
sively violating the core provisions of both
treaties.

The Soviets are directly challenging the
essence of the U.S. democratic political
system by their 24 conclusive and agreed
arms control violations They are boldly
gambling that American democratic leaders
can not muster the leadership or collect the .
bipartisan political consensus necessary to
demonstrate the political will to compensate
-for their violations. They believe. with some
justification derived from their past obser-
vation of American behavior, that American
political leaders are paralyzed and demoral-
ized and unable to galvanize public support
to challenge them and counteract their.
threats to our collective security.
Of course, the Soviets are very self confi-
dent. They have reason to be. The Soviets
know full well that they now have an over-
whelming 4 to 1 numerical advantage in
ICBM warheads (counting DLA's reported
best estimate of 14 warheads on each of 308
superheavy SS-18 ICBMs. reportedly giving
the Soviets 8.500 ICBM warheads to only
2,100 for the U.S.). and their accuracy and
megatonnage advantages give them over a 6

10. The Krasnoyarsk Radar
Obfipaiion' In an effort to preclude cre-
ation of a base for territorial ABM defense,
the ABM Treaty limits the deployment of
ballistic missile early warning radars, in-
cluding large phased-array radars used for
that purpose, to locations along the periph-
ery of the national territory of each party
and requires that they be oriented outward.
The Treaty permits deployment (without
regard to location or orientation) of large
phased-array radars for purposes of track-
ing objects in outer space or for use as na-
tional technical means of verification-of
compliance with arms control agreements.
Issue The January 1984 report examined
the evidence regarding the construction of a
large phased-array radar near Krasnoyarsk
in central Siberia- It was concluded that this
radar was almost certainly a violators of the
current operation of SAM AND ABM com-
ponents Indicate the USSR probably has
violated the prohibition on testing SAM
components in an ABM mode. In several
cases this may be highly probable. This and
other such Soviet activities suggest that the
USSR may be preparing an ABM defense of
its national territory.
13. ABM Territorial Defense
Obligation: The Treaty allows each party
a single operational 'site, explicitly permits
modernization and replacement of ABM sys-
tems or their components, and explicitly
recognizes the existence of ABM' test ranges
for the development and testing of ABM
components. The ABM Treaty prohibits,
however, the deployment of an ABM system
for defense of the national territory of the
ABM Treaty. The US..reexamined this parties and prohibits the parties from pro-
the basis of evidence which continued to be
.available through 1984. that the new large
phased-array radar under construction at
Krasnoyarsk constitutes a violation of legal
obligations under the Anti-Ballistic Misile
Treaty of 1972 in that in Its associated
siting, orientation, and capability. It is pro-
hibited by this Treaty. Continuing construc-
tion. and the absence of credible alternative
.explanations, have reinforced otir. assess-
ment of its purpose- Despite U.S. requests.
no corrective action has been taken. . '
11. Mobility of New ABM System -
Oblip:tior>: The -ABM Treaty prohibits
the development, testing or deployment of
mobile land-based ABM systems or compo-
nests. -
hsue The U.S. examined Whether the
Soviet Union has developed a mobile land-
based ABM system, or components for such
a system. in violation of its legal obligation
under the ARM Treaty.
Finding: The' US. Government judges
that Soviet-actions with respect to ABM
component mobility are ambiguous, but the
USSR's development of components of a
new ABM system, which apparently are de-
signed to be deployable at sites requiring
relatively little or no preparation. represent
a potential violation of Its legal obligation
under the ABM Treaty. This and other
ARM-related Soviet actions suggest that the
USSR may be preparing an ABM defense of
its national territory. - . .
12. Concurrent Testing of ABM and SAM
Components
Obligation- The ARM Treaty and Its Pro-
tocol limit the parties to one ABM deploy-
ment area. In addition to the ABM systems
and components at that one 'deployment
area the parties may have ABM systems
and components for development and Lest-
ing purposes so long as they are located at
agreed test ranges. The Treaty also prohib-
its giving components, other than ABM
system components. . the capability "to
counter strategic ballistic missiles or their
elements in flight trajectory" and prohibits
the parties from testing them in "an ABM
mode" The parties agreed that the concur-
rent testing of SAM and ABM system com-
por tints is prohibited.
Issue The U.S. examined whether Soviet
ABM and related activities provide a base
for a territorial defense-
. Finding: The U.S. Government judges
that the aggregate of the Soviet Union's
ARM and ABM-related actions suggest that
the USSR -may be preparing an ABM de-
ierse of its national territory.
