According
to
its
preface,
this
monograph
is
a
survey of
relevant
facts
'for
those
concerned
with'
the
force
reduction
talks
in Vienna.
It
may
be
helpful
to
some
of
the
negotiators
from
the
Warsaw
Pact
coun-
tries,
perhaps,
but
is
not
likely
to
be
much
used
by
their
Western
counterparts.
The
latter
now have
at
their
disposal
a
whole
body
of
material
on
force
reductions
and
related
problems,
developed
over
the
last
seven
years,
which
far
exceeds
anything
contained in
SIPRI'S
paper.
SIPRI
would
be
well-advised
to
regard this
monograph
as
a
first
shot
at
a
difficult
subject.
It
should aim
at
a
solid
contribution
to
the
public
debate,
rather than
trying
to
produce
back-up
material
or
guidelines
for
the
negotiators.
