Sen. James McClure, following a briefing Monday by CIA and State
Department officials, said President Reagan plans to present two reports to
Congress by Jan. 23 on Soviet violations of various arms control treaties.
The Idaho Republican said one report would be a ''public fact sheet,'' the
other a confidential study for lawmakers.
''The report will contain presidential conclusions on seven Soviet arms
control violations,'' he said following the briefing at his Boise Senate
offices. ''Five of these Soviet violations are clear-cut and conclusive.''
He said the report will center on Soviet compliance with the SALT I and SALT
II treaties, the Biological and Chemical Warfare Convention, the Threshold
Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and the Helsinki Final Act.
McClure, who successfully convinced fellow lawmakers last September to adopt
a resolution demanding that Reagan prepare the reports, said they are ''vitally
important to the public and Congress. 11
The senator, chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said he
would ask Reagan to a ''special closed session of the U.S. Senate for a
top-secret briefing on Soviet SALT violations.''
That session would include an explanation to lawmakers on how the president
plans to deal with the alleged treaty violations, he added.
''It is fundamental to our national security and the forthcoming debate on
the defense budget to know whether the Soviets are complying with the SALT
treaties and other arms control agreements," he said.
