Summary of Conclusions
The SIG convened, Under Secretary Stoessel chairing, to
discuss the matter of short range nuclear systems and the prob-
lem of a range floor in the context of the INF negotiations in
Geneva.
On the shorter range systems the SIG agreed to support-Op-
tion A in the SIG memorandum, which called for tabling a draft
treaty without specific language on these systems. The OSD rep-
resentative gave conditional approval subject to further consul-
tations in Defense.
On the question of an INF range floor, JCS proposed a for-
mulation that described the desired range in terms of the capa-
bilities of the Soviet SS 12/22 system rather than as a fixed
numerical limit such as 1000 km. The SIG accepted the JCS ap-
proach in principle and tasked the INF working group to draft
suitable language for IG review. It was agreed that language
on the range floor question would not limit non-nuclear delivery
systems or prejudge the question of aircraft in future negotia-
tions.
Action. Assignments
(1) The Working Group will draft treaty language defining
a range floor proposal in terms of present SS 12/22 capabilities
for review at the IG and SIG levels.
(2) The delegation in Geneva will be provided a draft
treaty text for tabling in the current round which does not in-
clude a detailed position on shorter range systems, and which
resolves the range floor issue as described above.
