Noel Gayer speaks to Congress in favor of SALT II

Description:

Admiral Noel Gayler, former director of the National Security Administration, testifies before Congress about the proposed second Strategic Arms Limitations Treaty. Gayler responds to a question by Senator Joseph Biden (D-DE) about the supposed lack of specific language regarding the ban of the Tupolev Tu-22M backfire bomber produced by the Soviet Union. Gayler says a treaty limitation on the production of the backfire bombers has no bearing on the passage of the treaty as a whole, and speculation of a nuclear attack should not hold sway in the debate of the treaty.
