Question

President was responsible for signing the salt i treaty in 1974.

Answer 1

Answer:

President Gerald Ford

Explanation:

In November 1974 President Gerald Ford reached a provisional agreement with Brezhnev at Vladivostok. The Vladivostok Accord committed the two superpowers to “work out a new agreement” that would put a cap on “equal aggregate numbers” of ballistic missiles and a sub‐cap of MIRVed ballistic missiles. Negotiations to consolidate the Vladivostok accord into a SALT II Treaty dragged from 1974 to as late as 1979, when Carter and Brezhnev signed a SALT Treaty, which, however, never came into effect.

Nixon answer is wrong as the question is during 1974.

During the May 22–30, 1972, Moscow Summit, President Nixon and General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev signed a number of agreements including the “Treaty on the Limitation of Anti‐Ballistic Missile Systems” (mostly known as “ABM Treaty) and the “Interim Agreement on Certain Measures with Respect to the Limitations of Strategic Offensive Arms” that put a loose cap on the deployment of certain offensive strategic weapons, including Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) and Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBMs). The SALT interim agreement banned for a five‐year period the deployment of new land‐based ICBMs, freezing the numbers at 1054 for the US and 1618 for the Soviet Union.
