we propose an equal aggregate of 2,350 ICBMs, SLEMs

_
? That SLBMs and heavy bornbers-rx-iay be substituted for

submarines.
- Air-to-surface missiles with greater than 3,000 km range.

agreement the U.S. would be prepared to consider:

those ICBM lau-ne-her on which MIRV/MRV systems are operational
or which are under construction or conversion-for such MIRV/M_RV
systems as of an agreed date.

-- Appropriate collateral?dons-Er-Exits to enhance verification
