Letter to Congressional Leaders Transmitting the Report on Soviet 
Noncompliance With Arms Control Agreements

April 9, 1992
Dear Mr. Speaker:  (Dear Mr. President:)
    Enclosed are classified and unclassified copies of the annual Report 
on Soviet Noncompliance with Arms Control Agreements.
    Last year the Soviet Union ended and we have every reason to hope 
that this will lead to a new era of compliance with arms control 
agreements. The report I am forwarding covers actions taken in 1991 by 
the former Soviet Union, not the newly independent states which have 
succeeded it. We have already seen an improvement in the willingness of 
these new governments to adhere to arms control obligations.
    For our part, the United States will continue to expect scrupulous 
compliance with all arms control obligations. Such compliance is 
especially important as we build new and better relations and as 
conventional and nuclear forces are dismantled.
    Sincerely,

                                                             George Bush

                    Note: Identical letters were sent to Thomas S. 
                        Foley, Speaker of the House of Representatives, 
                        and Dan Quayle, President of the Senate.
