Talk:Strategic Arms Limitation Talks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
We should be careful when suggesting that the influence of defense contractors was essential to decision making at SALT:
"The combination of these factors meant that the military and political leadership on both sides had an incentive to reduce their arsenals. Factoring in the industrial complex, if the talks led to allowances for fewer but more advanced systems, this would allow for further expenditures and thus keep the military-industrial complex happy."
This is not a neutral analysis.
[edit] Salt Talks
I've always heard them referred to as the "SALT Talks", so I'm going to create a redirect page with that name. I know, it's a redundant acronym. xxxyyyzzz 20:12, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Which treaty was it?
Was it the SALT treaty where nuclear weapons were banned from outer space by the USSR and USA?
