More or less despairing of selling the SALT agreement on its merits, spokesmen for the Carter Administration have retreated to generic argument. The issue now before us, they contend, is not the boring detail work about heavy missiles, MIRVs, or telemetry encoding, but the SALT process itself. The question to be decided is whether we want a treaty at all, or whether we are willing to face the terrors of a “future without SALT.”
