In connection with the Treaty Between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, the Parties have agreed as follows:
First Agreed Statement. The Parties agree, in the interest of the viability and effectiveness of the Treaty, not to transfer strategic offensive arms subject to the limitations of the Treaty to third States. The Parties further agree that this Agreed Statement and the provisions of Article XVI of the Treaty do not apply to any patterns of cooperation, including obligations, in the area of strategic offensive arms, existing at the time of signature of the Treaty, between a Party and a third State.
Second Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, in the event of the emergence in the future of a new kind of arm that one Party considers could be a new kind of strategic offensive arm, that Party shall have the right to raise the question of such an arm for consideration by the Joint Compliance and Inspection Commission in accordance with subparagraph (c) of Article XV of the Treaty.
Third Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 13 of Article V and subparagraph 4(d) of Article III of the Treaty, ICBMs of the type designated by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as RS-10, which is known to the United States of America as SS-11, may be deployed with no more than three reentry vehicles, provided that such reentry vehicles are not independently targetable.
Fourth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, in connection with the definition of the term "air-to-surface ballistic missile (ASBM)" provided for in the Annex to the Treaty on Terms and Their Definitions, hereinafter referred to as the Definitions Annex to the Treaty, the term is not intended to describe any missile that sustains flight, or any missile the payload of which sustains flight, through the use of aerodynamic lift over any portion of its flight path.
Fifth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that the replacement of silo launchers of heavy ICBMs under the provisions of subparagraph 2(d) of Article V of the Treaty shall only take place in the case of silo launchers destroyed by accident or in the case of other exceptional circumstances that require the relocation of existing silo launchers of heavy ICBMs. If such relocation is required, the Party planning to construct the new silo launcher shall provide the other Party with the reasons and plans for such relocation in the Joint Compliance and Inspection Commission prior to carrying out such relocation.
Sixth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that three airplanes of the type designated by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as 3M, which is known to the United States of America as Bison, have been converted to transport oversized cargo; are used for purposes unrelated to the Treaty; and are not reconnaissance airplanes, tanker airplanes, or jamming airplanes, and thus do not meet the definition of the term "former heavy bomber" provided for in the Definitions Annex to the Treaty. These airplanes are not included within the totals listed in Section IV of, or Annex C to, the Memorandum of Understanding. The Parties further agree that all other airplanes of the Bison type will be considered to be former heavy bombers.
Seventh Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, with respect to the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article XIV of the Treaty authorizing operational dispersals, such dispersals shall be conducted only for national security purposes in time of crisis when a Party considers it necessary to act to ensure the survivability of its strategic forces. The Parties further agree that, while there are no limits on the number and frequency of such operational dispersals, in practice they will occur rarely.
Eighth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that:
(b) With respect to heavy bombers, the provisions of paragraph 28 of Article V of the Treaty shall not preclude the temporary stationing of heavy bombers outside the territory of a Party for purposes not inconsistent with the Treaty. If a Party stations heavy bombers outside its national territory for a period in excess of 30 days at any one time, it shall so inform the other Party through diplomatic channels before the end of the 30-day period, except that, if a Party has stationed more than 30 heavy bombers outside its national territory at any one time, it shall so inform the other Party within 48 hours.
(c) The Parties have the obligation, if concerns arise under this Agreed Statement, to discuss any ambiguity and, if necessary, to provide each other with information to resolve concerns. Such discussions could occur through diplomatic channels, as well as in the Joint Compliance and Inspection Commission. The Parties do not rule out the possibility that clarifications provided in the Joint Compliance and Inspection Commission might, in certain cases, include inspections or visits.
Ninth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, for the purposes of subparagraph 19(a) of Article V of the Treaty, lighter-than-air aircraft such as balloons, drifting aerostats, and dirigibles shall not be flight-tested with, equipped for, or deployed with nuclear armaments.
Tenth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that:
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 5 of Section VII of the Inspection Protocol, the conversion or elimination facility for heavy bombers and former heavy bombers at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base shall be subject to a baseline data inspection. If at any time the total number of heavy bombers and former heavy bombers that have been located at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base for more than seven days, and upon which the elimination process has not been initiated, exceeds five, this facility shall also be subject to data update inspections, which shall be counted against the quota provided for in paragraph 2 of Section VII of the Inspection Protocol.
(c) The procedures for baseline data inspections and data update inspections of heavy bombers and former heavy bombers at the conversion or elimination facility at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base shall be as modified below:
(ii) Inspectors shall have the right to inspect other heavy bombers and former heavy bombers in accordance with the procedures provided for in Section II of Annex 4 to the Inspection Protocol, but only to the extent that the condition of such airplanes allows such procedures to be carried out. A member of the in-country escort shall provide the information on the condition of such airplanes.
(d) If the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in the future has a conversion or elimination facility where at any time the total number of heavy bombers and former heavy bombers that have been located at such facility for more than seven days, and upon which the elimination process has not been initiated, exceeds five, such facility shall also be subject to data update inspections, in accordance with the procedures provided for in subparagraph (c)(ii) of this Agreed Statement.
Eleventh Agreed Statement. The Parties understand that the Conversion or Elimination Protocol does
not provide procedures for the elimination of ICBMs for mobile launchers of ICBMs containing a stage
equipped with a liquid-propellant main rocket engine or for the elimination of heavy bombers that have
no tail sections. The Parties agree that such ICBMs and such heavy bombers shall not be eliminated
until the appropriate procedures have been agreed within the framework of the Joint Compliance and
Inspection Commission. The Parties further agree that such ICBMs and such heavy bombers may be
otherwise removed from accountability in accordance with the applicable procedures provided for in
Section VII or VIII of the Conversion or Elimination Protocol.
Twelfth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding the definition of the term "former
heavy bomber" provided for in the Definitions Annex to the Treaty, the 37 airplanes designated by the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as Tu-95RTs, which are known to the United States of America as
Bear D, and all airplanes designated by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as Tu-142, which are
known to the United States of America as Bear F or Bear J, depending on how a particular airplane is
equipped, shall not be considered to be former heavy bombers. The Parties further agree that all
airplanes formerly known to the United States of America as Bear E and now known as Bear T, which
are designated by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as Tu-95U, shall be considered to be training
heavy bombers.
Thirteenth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that engineering models of silos may be located at the
repair facility for ICBMs at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, United States of America, the number of which
shall not exceed four. Such engineering models of silos shall be subject to the limitations on silo training
launchers provided for in subparagraph 2(e) of Article IV of the Treaty, and they shall be specified in the
Memorandum of Understanding as a separate category. Such engineering models of silos shall not be
subject to inspection. The elimination of such engineering models of silos shall be carried out in
accordance with procedures for silo training launchers in Section II of the Conversion or Elimination
Protocol.
Fourteenth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph
11(a) of Article IV of the Treaty, the existing storage facilities for ICBMs located at Khrizolitovyy and
Surovatikha, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, shall be located no less than 20 kilometers from any
deployment area, provided that the distance between such facilities and any restricted area or
maintenance facility of an ICBM base for road-mobile launchers of ICBMs is no less than 60 kilometers.
Such storage facilities shall not be re-established after they have been eliminated in accordance with the
Conversion or Elimination Protocol.
Fifteenth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that the existing training facility for ICBMs at Plesetsk,
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, shall not be subject to the locational restriction on training facilities
for ICBMs, provided for in subparagraph 11(d) of Article IV of the Treaty, with respect to any existing
test range. No more than 12 non-deployed mobile launchers of ICBMs may be located at this training
facility for ICBMs. After its elimination in accordance with the Conversion or Elimination Protocol, this
training facility for ICBMs shall not be re-established.
Sixteenth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, with respect to the provisions of subparagraph
9(d) of Article III of the Treaty, each ICBM launcher or SLBM launcher existing as of the date of
signature of the Treaty is capable of launching only an ICBM or SLBM of the type specified for that
launcher in the Memorandum of Understanding.
Seventeenth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that the expression "not equipped" is understood to
mean, for a heavy bomber or former heavy bomber, that such an airplane is not equipped for a particular
kind of armament, which shall be confirmed by the necessary distinguishing features. Each Party shall
determine the distinguishing features of its heavy bombers and former heavy bombers. If the other Party
considers such distinguishing features to be insufficient, it may raise the issue within the framework of
the Joint Compliance and Inspection Commission.
Eighteenth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, as of the date of signature of the Treaty, there
are no heavy bombers permanently based at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, and that it therefore has
not been specified as an air base for heavy bombers in the Memorandum of Understanding. The Parties
further agree that, if in the future the United States of America permanently bases heavy bombers at
Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, all applicable provisions of the Treaty will apply to that facility,
including those that provide for listing the facility in Annex C to the Memorandum of Understanding, for
new facility inspections and data update inspections, and for notifications concerning the visits of heavy
bombers and former heavy bombers.
Nineteenth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, in the event either Party wishes to develop
mobile space launchers and space launch boosters associated with such launchers, the question could be
addressed in the Joint Compliance and Inspection Commission. Such systems would be allowed,
provided that:
(b) Mobile space launchers do not contain an ICBM or SLBM;
(c) The numbers of mobile space launchers and space launch boosters associated with such launchers
that are produced and stored do not exceed space launch requirements; and
(d) Mobile space launchers and space launch boosters associated with such launchers are not located at
an ICBM base for rail-mobile launchers of ICBMs or an ICBM base for road-mobile launchers of
ICBMs.
Additional provisions relevant to such systems could also be agreed by the Parties within the framework
of the Joint Compliance and Inspection Commission.
Twentieth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 4 of
Article VII of the Treaty:
(b) The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics shall have the same right, if it decides to change its existing
practices for the elimination of such launch canisters.
(c) Notification of the movement of such launch canisters from the place where the flight test occurred
to a refurbishment location shall be provided through the Nuclear Risk Reduction Centers no later than
five days after the completion of the movement.
Twenty-first Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, in providing notifications in accordance with
paragraph 3 of Section I of the Notification Protocol for "each change in data for categories of data
contained in the Memorandum of Understanding," only one notification shall be required for each event
that results in changed data, notwithstanding the number of categories of data for which data must be
changed based on the occurrence of such event.
Twenty-second Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that:
(b) For the purpose of reaching the agreement provided for in subparagraph (a) of this Agreed
Statement, the Parties shall proceed as follows:
(ii) In cases where continuous monitoring procedures under the Treaty and continuous monitoring
procedures under the INF Treaty are identical, those procedures may be performed only once, with the
results recorded, as appropriate, in the continuous monitoring report and in the inspection report.
(iii) The Parties shall agree on a list of the specific provisions of the INF Treaty and of the Memorandum of
Agreement Regarding the Implementation of the Verification Provisions of the INF Treaty, hereinafter
referred to as the Memorandum of Agreement, on issues relating to pre-inspection requirements,
notifications, activities beginning upon arrival at the point of entry, and general provisions related to
continuous monitoring that shall be suspended upon entry into force of the Treaty at facilities inspected
by means of continuous monitoring pursuant to the INF Treaty. Agreement on such a list shall not be
considered to be an amendment to the INF Treaty proper and shall not have the effect of amending the
INF Treaty. The provisions of the INF Treaty to be suspended may be suspended by making
amendments to the Memorandum of Agreement or by being treated as "measures to improve the viability
and effectiveness" of the Protocol Regarding Inspections Relating to the INF Treaty. The Parties shall
also agree upon a list of the specific provisions of the Treaty that, in connection with the suspension of
the above-mentioned provisions of the Protocol Regarding Inspections Relating to the INF Treaty and
the Memorandum of Agreement, shall apply from the date of entry into force of the Treaty at such
facilities.
(iv) After continuous monitoring activities commence in accordance with paragraph 14 of Article XI of the
Treaty, continuous monitoring activities under the Treaty and continuous monitoring activities under the
INF Treaty at the Votkinsk Machine Building Plant shall be conducted by a team of no more than 30
monitors. Issues related to increasing the quota of monitors for maintenance of the perimeter and portal
continuous monitoring system and replacement of monitors shall be governed by the provisions of the
Inspection Protocol to the Treaty.
(v) Equipment used for the purposes of continuous monitoring at the Votkinsk Machine Building Plant
pursuant to the INF Treaty may be used for continuous monitoring pursuant to the Treaty, including after
termination of continuous monitoring pursuant to the INF Treaty, if the purpose of such equipment
coincides with the purpose of the equipment under the Treaty. Equipment used exclusively for the
purpose of continuous monitoring at the Votkinsk facility and the use of which is not provided for under
the Treaty shall be used only pursuant to the INF Treaty. Continuous monitoring equipment for use
exclusively under the Treaty may also be sent to, and installed at, the Votkinsk facility in accordance
with the Treaty.
(vi) Specific issues that may arise in connection with the concurrent application of continuous monitoring
procedures under both Treaties shall be considered within the framework of the Joint Compliance and
Inspection Commission and the framework of the Special Verification Commission.
(c) Concurrent inspections under both Treaties may not be conducted at a facility subject to the Treaty
and the INF Treaty. An inspection under one of the Treaties at such a facility shall be conducted no
earlier than six days after an inspection has been conducted under the other Treaty at that facility.
Twenty-third Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, for the purposes of the prohibition of
paragraph 25 of Article V of the Treaty and this Agreed Statement, the term "accessible" means able to
be entered by waterborne craft on the surface of the water, while submerged, or while partially
submerged. The Parties further agree that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics will not make the
underground structures located in the immediate vicinity of the Ara Inlet (Kola Peninsula), the
Yagel'naya Submarine Base (Kola Peninsula), and the Pavlovskoye Submarine Base (Primorskiy Kray),
all of which are used for purposes unrelated to the Treaty, accessible by any waterborne craft of any
displacement whatsoever.
Twenty-fourth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, for the purposes of subparagraph 4(b) of
Article III of the Treaty, a front section of a fundamentally new design would not have the essential
features that are characteristic of any existing design of a front section with multiple reentry vehicles that
has been deployed or tested on any ICBM or SLBM as of the date of entry into force of the Treaty. In
particular, a front section of a fundamentally new design would not have a self-contained dispensing
mechanism that dispenses reentry vehicles to different aim points sequentially. In addition, an ICBM or
SLBM, the final stage of which executes a procedure for dispensing reentry vehicles, would not be
considered to have a front section of a fundamentally new design. The Parties further agree that the
fundamentally new nature of such a design would be verifiable by national technical means of
verification.
Twenty-fifth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, with respect to the definition of the term
"variant," an ICBM or SLBM of a type, a dimension of which differs from that of another ICBM or
SLBM of the same type by more than three percent, but by less than the appropriate new type criteria,
shall be considered to be a variant. The Parties further agree that a Party may declare an ICBM or SLBM
to be a variant if its dimensions differ by less than three percent from those of another ICBM or SLBM
of the same type.
Twenty-sixth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, subject to the limitations provided for in
subparagraphs 4(b) and 11(c) of Article IV of the Treaty, a portion of the territory of an eliminated
ICBM base may be declared to be a space launch facility after the following conditions are met:
(b) All activity associated with strategic offensive arms shall cease and shall not subsequently resume at
the ICBM base.
(c) A close-out inspection shall be conducted at the ICBM base to confirm that the elimination of the
base has been completed.
(d) Such eliminated ICBM bases shall not be reestablished.
(e) Nothing in this Agreed Statement shall affect the obligation of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics to eliminate, no later than seven years after entry into force of the Treaty, 154 silo launchers of
ICBMs of the type designated by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as RS-20, which is known to
the United States of America as SS-18. In this regard, no SS-18 silo launchers of ICBMs among the 154
launchers to be eliminated shall be retained for use at a space launch facility.
The Parties further agree that, during a formerly declared facility inspection of the ICBM base, a portion
of the territory of which has been declared as a space launch facility, the space launch facility shall not
be subject to inspection.
Twenty-seventh Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that the six existing soft-site launchers located at
Cape Canaveral, Florida, United States of America, shall be exempt from the provisions of paragraph 9
of Article V of the Treaty until such time that they contain or launch an ICBM or SLBM after the date of
signature of the Treaty.
Twenty-eighth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that a first stage of an ICBM or SLBM that is
maintained, stored, and transported as an assembled missile without a launch canister, may be located
separate from other stages of such a missile only at a production facility for such ICBMs or SLBMs; a
location, specified in Annex I to the Memorandum of Understanding, where static testing of first stages
occurs; a conversion or elimination facility for ICBMs or SLBMs, or, for ICBMs other than ICBMs for
mobile launchers of ICBMs and for SLBMs, another location where such an ICBM or SLBM is
eliminated; or an exhibition site. Such a first stage may be moved between these locations only in
connection with an exhibition conducted pursuant to paragraph 11 of Article XI of the Treaty as well as
in connection with the elimination of such ICBMs or SLBMs. If, however, such a first stage is located,
separate from other stages of such a missile, at a location other than these locations, all ICBMs or
SLBMs of that type shall thereafter be considered, for the purposes of the Treaty, to be ICBMs or
SLBMs that are maintained, stored, and transported in stages, unless otherwise agreed.
The Parties further agree that an assembled missile or first stage of an ICBM that is maintained, stored,
and transported as an assembled missile in its launch canister, may be located outside its launch canister
only at a production facility for such ICBMs; for first stages of such ICBMs for mobile launchers of
ICBMs, locations specified in Annex I to the Memorandum of Understanding, where solid rocket motors
of ICBMs for mobile launchers of ICBMs may be tested with or without nozzles attached; for other such
ICBMs not subject to the limitations contained in paragraph 10 of Article IV of the Treaty, a location,
specified in Annex I to the Memorandum of Understanding, where static testing of first stages occurs; a
conversion or elimination facility for ICBMs, or, for ICBMs other than ICBMs for mobile launchers of
ICBMs, another location where such an ICBM is eliminated; or an exhibition site. Such a first stage may
be moved between these locations only in connection with an exhibition conducted pursuant to paragraph
11 of Article XI of the Treaty as well as in connection with the elimination of such ICBMs. If, however,
such a missile is located outside its launch canister, or such a first stage is located separate from other
stages of such a missile, at a location other than these locations, all ICBMs of that type shall thereafter be
considered, for the purposes of the Treaty, to be ICBMs that are maintained, stored, and transported in
stages, unless otherwise agreed.
Twenty-ninth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that the STARS booster shall not be considered to
be the Polaris A-3 SLBM since that booster has a different number of stages. The STARS booster shall
be considered to be a booster used only for research and development purposes, subject to the provisions
of paragraph 12 of Article VII of the Treaty Between the United States of America and the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics on the Elimination of Their Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles
of December 8, 1987.
Thirtieth Agreed Statement. The Parties do not exclude the possibility that the bans on ballistic
missiles on waterborne vehicles other than submarines and on launchers of such missiles contained in
subparagraph 18(a) of Article V of the Treaty and the ban on air-to-surface ballistic missiles contained in
subparagraph 18(d) of Article V of the Treaty shall not apply to launches of ICBMs and SLBMs from
waterborne vehicles other than submarines or from airplanes, other than heavy bombers or former heavy
bombers, for delivering objects into the upper atmosphere or space. Should the Parties reach agreement
concerning the possibility of using ICBMs and SLBMs for delivering objects into the upper atmosphere
or space from waterborne vehicles other than submarines or from such airplanes, provisions concerning
procedures for such launches shall be agreed within the framework of the Joint Compliance and
Inspection Commission. By this Agreed Statement, the Parties do not waive any of their obligations or
rights related to the non-proliferation of missiles and missile technology, stipulated in the Washington
Summit Joint Statement of June 1, 1990.
Thirty-first Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that the provisions of Article X of the Treaty and of
the Telemetry Protocol shall not apply to objects launched by ICBMs or SLBMs used to deliver objects
into the upper atmosphere or space, after such objects either are in orbit or have achieved escape
velocity.
Thirty-second Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding the provisions of
subparagraph 3(b) of Section I of the Throw-weight Protocol and paragraph 1 of Section III and
paragraph 4 of Section VII of the Notification Protocol, the Parties shall agree, within the framework of
the Joint Compliance and Inspection Commission, on the procedures for establishing the throw-weight
accountability of an ICBM or SLBM of a new type in the event that a Party deploys an ICBM or SLBM
of that type prior to its eighth flight test.
Thirty-third Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, for no more than two ballistic missile
submarines of the United States of America that are equipped with Poseidon SLBMs and that are
modified for use as special purpose submarines, the following provisions shall apply:
(b) In order to demonstrate that the launch tubes on such a submarine do not contain SLBMs, such tubes
shall be opened, upon request of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, when such a submarine is
located at the port at which it is permanently based, in accordance with the following procedures:
(ii) Within 24 hours of the receipt of such a request, the decks of the special purpose submarine shall be
cleared and all tubes shall be opened for a period of no less than 12 hours.
(c) The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics shall have the right to make two requests per submarine
each year pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this Agreed Statement. If the requested Party is unable to
conduct such a display because of the absence of such submarine from the port, it shall provide
notification to the requesting Party through the Nuclear Risk Reduction Centers. In such an event, the
number of requests to which the requesting Party is entitled shall not be decreased.
(d) Until they are eliminated in accordance with Section IV of the Conversion or Elimination Protocol,
the 16 launchers that are on each special purpose submarine shall continue to count as 16 launchers for
such a submarine against the maximum aggregate limit of 1,600 provided for in Article II of the Treaty
and to count as 160 against the 6,000 and 4,900 limits also provided therein. When all other launchers of
Poseidon SLBMs have been converted or eliminated, except for test launchers and launchers at space
launch facilities, the Poseidon SLBM shall be considered to be a retired type of SLBM.
Thirty-fourth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, with respect to the criteria contained in
subparagraph (f) of the definition of the term "new type" provided for in the Definitions Annex to the
Treaty:
(b) The change in the length of the first stage of an ICBM or SLBM of a type declared to be a new type
in relation to an ICBM or SLBM of an existing type or previously declared new type shall be determined
in accordance with paragraph 15 of Annex J to the Memorandum of Understanding.
(c) The throw-weight of an ICBM or SLBM of an existing type or previously declared new type shall be
the accountable throw-weight of this existing type or previously declared new type, specified in the
Memorandum of Understanding.
(d) The throw-weight of an ICBM or SLBM of a type declared to be a new type shall be the greatest
throw-weight demonstrated in flight tests of an ICBM or SLBM of that type to a range of no less than
11,000 kilometers for an ICBM, or a range of no less than 9,500 kilometers for an SLBM. If an ICBM or
SLBM of a type declared to be a new type is not capable of being flight-tested to such a range, it shall be
flight-tested to a range of no less than 10,000 kilometers for an ICBM, or a range of no less than 8,500
kilometers for an SLBM.
(e) Should an ICBM of any type be declared to be a new type in relation to the SS-25 ICBM on the basis
of an increase of 21 percent or more in throw-weight in conjunction with a change of five percent or
more in the length of the first stage, the throw-weight of an ICBM of such a type declared to be a new
type shall be the greatest throw-weight demonstrated in flight tests of an ICBM of that type to a range of
no less than 11,000 kilometers.
Thirty-fifth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, if a Party provides, during any one year,
telemetry data tapes for a greater number of flight tests, the other Party shall reimburse the
tape-associated costs resulting from the difference in the number of flight tests. The costs associated
with the purchase of the tapes and the copying of telemetric information onto the tapes, as well as the
procedure for the reimbursement, shall be subject to agreement in the Joint Compliance and Inspection
Commission.
Thirty-sixth Agreed Statement. The Parties agree that, with regard to Ellsworth Air Force Base, South
Dakota; Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota; Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota; and
Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics may conduct no more than
one inspection at each of these Air Force Bases of the United States of America at any one time.
(a) Mobile space launchers and the space launch boosters associated with such launchers have
differences from ICBM launchers and SLBM launchers and from ICBMs and SLBMs, respectively,
observable by national technical means of verification;
(a) The United States of America shall have the right to refurbish and reuse, as launch canisters for
ICBMs for mobile launchers of ICBMs, those launch canisters for ICBMs for mobile launchers of
ICBMs that remain at a test range or ICBM base after the flight test of such ICBMs.
(a) Issues relating to the concurrent continuous monitoring activities in accordance with paragraph 14 of
Article XI of the Treaty and continuous monitoring in accordance with paragraph 6 of Article XI of the
Treaty between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the
Elimination of Their Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles of December 8, 1987, hereinafter
referred to as the INF Treaty, shall be agreed upon, prior to entry into force of the Treaty, within the
framework of the Joint Compliance and Inspection Commission and within the framework of the Special
Verification Commission. An agreement on these issues shall not affect substantive rights or obligations
of the Parties under either Treaty.
(i) During the period when continuous monitoring at the Votkinsk Machine Building Plant, Udmurt
Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, is conducted concurrently
under the Treaty and under the INF Treaty, the Parties shall ensure the application of continuous
monitoring procedures under the Treaty and of continuous monitoring procedures under the INF Treaty.
The engineering site survey provided for in the Treaty will not be conducted at the Votkinsk facility.
(a) All strategic offensive arms specified for that ICBM base and all support equipment have been
removed and all silo launchers of ICBMs or fixed structures for mobile launchers of ICBMs, except
those located in the portion of the territory of the ICBM base that the Party intends to subsequently
declare as a space launch facility, are eliminated in accordance with the procedures provided for in the
Conversion or Elimination Protocol. The provisions of that Protocol shall not apply to silo launchers of
ICBMs or fixed structures for mobile launchers of ICBMs located in that portion of the territory of the
base declared as a space launch facility.
(a) Such submarines shall be permanently based only at ports that are not submarine bases specified in
the Memorandum of Understanding. Such ports shall be specified in Annex I to the Memorandum of
Understanding and shall not be subject to inspection.
(i) After receipt of a request for the display of special purpose submarines in such a port, the special purpose
submarines shall not leave port until the display is completed. If both special purpose submarines are
located in the same home port when a request is made, both submarines shall be displayed, and the
request shall count as one request for each such submarine.
(a) The throw-weight of an ICBM or SLBM of a type declared to be a new type shall exceed the
accountable throw-weight of an ICBM or SLBM of an existing type or of a previously declared new type
by 21 percent or more. The change in the length of the first stage of an ICBM or SLBM of a type
declared to be a new type shall be a change in relation to an ICBM or SLBM of the same existing type or
the same previously declared new type by five percent or more.
