Both president Bush and russian president Boris n. Yeltsin who will meet in Washington from june 16 to 17, have proposed cutting warheads on strategic weapons below the 6,000 ceiling set in Start. Bush in his state of the Union speech in january proposed 4,700 warheads the More ambitious Yeltsin has urged that warheads be scaled Down to 2,500. The heart of the difference is not so much the numbers but which weapons would have to be scrapped. For instance the Bush administration is trying to hold onto the . Array of potent Trident nuclear submarine missiles. Kozarev said Yeltsin wanted to eliminate multiple warhead weapons on land As Well As at sea while Bush called for Banning Only such land based nuclear weapons. The Core of the russians nuclear strength lies in such land based missiles which would be sharply reduced but not eliminated by Start. The timing Issue meanwhile involves Moscow a determination to implement a new round of massive reductions even during the seven years that Start would be carried out. The Accord still has to be submitted to the Senate for ratification so full implementation is Likely to take until the year 2000
