Abstract
Ask a member of the American arms control community why, in the spring of 1977, that community gave no support to President Carter in proposals to the Soviet Union to negotiate 'deep cuts' in strategic arms 'even to 50 per cent* and the first answer will be: 'Well, it had never been discussed with the Russians ...' If you press on, 'You mean there is a convention that the Russians clear American arms control proposals in advance?', a muttered 'not quite that, but ...' follows. And if you press further and ask whether the Russians observe a similar convention, the embarrassment gives way to impatience: clearly you don't appreciate the niceties of Soviet-American relations.
