- SALT I stands for the strategic arms limitation talks agreement
- SALT I froze the number of strategic ballistic missle launches at existing levels
- Also known as the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty, it provided for the addition of new submarine-(SLBM)launchers only after the same amount of older intercontinental ballistic missile(ICBM) and SLBM's had been dismantled.
- This treaty was mainly between the US and the Soviet union, as they held the most missiles.
