→SALT II
The completed [[SALT II]] agreement was signed by [[President Carter]] and General Secretary [[Brezhnev]] in Vienna on June 18, 1979. President Carter transmitted it to the Senate on June 22 for its advice and consent to ratification. Carter was standing for re-election in 1980 and had pressured negotiators to make concessions in an effort to secure for himself an alleged election-year triumph.

Zbigniew Brezinski later remarked about events two weeks after signing the treaty:
{{Cquote|Indeed, it was on July 3, 1979, that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in [[Kabul]]. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.<ref>https://www.theamericanconservative.com/the-untold-story-of-carters-fateful-foreign-policy/</ref>}}
