Series 3: Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), 1990-1991 Add to Shelf

Series 3 is comprised of a small group of materials related to Persiani's work on the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), which sought to place limits on the development and stockpiling of nuclear arms by the United States and the USSR. Included are lists of the U.S. and USSR delegates, including Persiani who represented the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency as one of twenty advisors to the United States negotiators and policymakers. The administrative file also includes news reports and articles about the START treaty, Persiani's ANL travel report, scanned copies of a sheet with signatures from START treaty participants titled "To Commemorate Treaty Unsignature," and copies of several declassified documents from the mid-1960s relating to nuclear fuel processing. Also present are five photographic prints featuring shots of the treaty negotiations and the delegates, the text of the treaty, and a bound copy of the treaty with supporting text published by the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency in 1991.

This series also contains a series of 21 letters sent by Persiani to his wife from Switzerland, where START negotiations were taking place. Written from October 1990 to July 1991, Persiani discusses strengthening relationships between the Soviets and the U.S. delegates, how the escalating problems in the Middle East are affecting negotiations, and the pressure from both sides to finish the treaty so that it can be signed while Gorbachev is still in power. He describes the shifting roles of U.S. ambassadors, and his concerns about the influence of the Soviet far right on the negotiation process. He expresses concern about the slow process of refining the precise technical language used in the treaty. His commitment to specificity in the developing treaty is a recurring theme in these letters.
