If you want an explained chronicle of the Disarmament Movement that lead to SALT I, I recommend reading this articel on Counterpunch magazine (http://www.counterpunch.org/jayaprakash05262007.html). It is quite detailed. All i can tell you is that after a sizable loss of military capacity from the last five years of the Viet Nam War until the accession Ronald Reagan forced the US for the first time to collaborate with Soviet efforts to curb the armaments race. That is where SALT I comes from.
