...unbelievable," declared a Pentagon official. "We'd never allow something like that to happen here." He referred to the astonishing Soviet decision to let three Democratic Congressmen prowl for four hours through the secret radar facility near Krasnoyarsk in Siberia. The Kremlin permitted the lawmakers and a few aides to snap 1,000 photographs inside the facility, which has been the focus of U.S. charges that the Soviets are violating the 1972 treaty limiting antiballistic missile systems. Predictably, the visit served to intensify debate in Washington about Soviet intentions...
...Soviets have also indicated that they might now accept a written limit on throw weight. In addition, they offered last week to stop construction on a giant phased-array radar in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia. This facility has been cited by Reagan's defense team as a major Soviet arms-control violation because such installations are permitted only along borders under the terms of the 1972 ABM treaty. In return for halting work on the nearly completed radar, the Soviets demanded that the U.S. stop upgrading two advance-warning radar complexes in England and Greenland, neither of which falls under the provisions...
...limit. Though the Soviets officially kept quiet throughout the latest fuss, it was only last week they conceded, in the arms- control talks at Geneva, that some SDI laboratory research would be acceptable. The U.S. contends the Soviets have broken the treaty by building a ! big radar installation near Krasnoyarsk in Siberia. Thus Reagan and Gorbachev will have quite enough opportunity to argue about ABM adherence. The last thing they needed was another explosive interpretation to dispute...
...testing of antimissile components, but it says nothing about subcomponents. Thus in Washington's interpretation subcomponent tests are permitted, though the Pentagon concedes this is a "gray area." In addition, the U.S. argues that the Soviets have repeatedly violated the treaty, notably by building a giant radar installation near Krasnoyarsk in Siberia...
...atmosphere around the negotiating table is not likely to be improved by the Administration's determination to "get satisfaction," as one official put it, on apparent Soviet violations of past Strategic Arms Limitations Talks (SALT) treaties. One example: the construction of a huge radar facility at Krasnoyarsk in Siberia that could be used as a defensive warning system, in violation of the 1972 antiballistic missile (ABM) treaty. Richard Perle, a critic of past arms-control measures, charged last week that the U.S. has allowed the Soviets to "think they could play fast and loose with these accords...
