Abstract
In January 1989, the United States and the Soviet Union signed a new agreement on cooperation in basic scientific research. This agreement replaced an earlier one for cooperation in science and technology, which was allowed to lapse in 1982 by the United States because of the invasion of Afghanistan, the exile of Academician Sakharov, and the imposition of martial law in Poland. The two agreements differ in important ways. This article describes experience under the earlier agreement, some of the lessons drawn from that experience, some of the history of the development of the new agreement, and its main provisions. The article draws attention to the importance of technology transfer, the administrative structure, and the fields of science chosen for cooperation under the new agreement.
