nov 28, 1983 - Open Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START)
Description:
Reagan reffered to the Soviets as an "Evil Empire." Reagan proposed a dramatic reduction in strategic forces in two phases, which he referred to as SALT III at the time. The first phase would reduce overall warhead counts on any missile type to 5,000, with an additional limit of 2,500 on ICBMs. The second phase introduced similar limits on heavy bombers and their warheads, and other strategic systems as well.
