  b. Reconnaissance satellites made it possible for nations to monitor the weapons possessed by other nations, which made cheating on agreements more difficult.
  c. The SALT talks between Henry Kissinger and the Soviet Union fell through when Kissinger was unable to reach any kind of agreement with the Soviets.
  d. Both the United States and the Soviets had sufficient weaponry to ensure second-strike capability, which meant deterrence was successful and talks were unnecessary.

Question 2
