Description
This document discusses proposed changes and understandings regarding a draft treaty on disarmament between the US and the Soviet Union. The key points are as follows:

Overall, the document reflects the US's positions on specific language and provisions in the draft treaty and highlights their efforts to negotiate and seek agreements with the Soviet Union on various aspects of the treaty.
