  c. The SALT agreements resulted in the ABM Treaty, while the SMART agreements were never ratified as a treaty.
  d. The SALT agreements were negotiated in the 1970s, and so the weapons addressed in them are irrelevant today, whereas the START agreements were negotiated in the 1990s and contain much more relevant information.
