JOINT STATEMENT NUMBER 37

ON SLBMS IN LAUNCH CANISTERS

With respect to the Treaty between the United States of
America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the
Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms of July
31, 1991, hereinafter referred to as the Treaty, the Parties
understand that for SLBMs that are maintained, stored, and
transported as assembled missiles in launch canisters,
including the SLBM designated by the Russian Federation as
the RSM-56, an assembled missile of a particular type, in its
launch canister, shall be considered to be an SLBM of that
type.

The Parties understand that the Treaty definition of
"launch canister" shall also mean a container, directly
associated with an SLBM, that can be or has been used for
transporting and storing an assembled SLBM, with or without
its front section, and from which an SLBM can be or has been
launched.

The Parties agree that the provisions of the Treaty that
apply to ICBMs that are maintained, stored, and transported
as assembled missiles in launch canisters, or their launch
canisters, shall also apply to SLBMs that are maintained,
stored, and transported as assembled missiles in launch
canisters, or their launch canisters, including the SLBM
designated by the Russian Federation as the RSM-56, unless
otherwise agreed. The Parties shall, within the framework of
the Joint Compliance and Inspection Commission, discuss and
agree on, as appropriate, any exceptions to or modifications
of the specific provisions of the Treaty that will apply for
such SLBMs or their launch canisters.

JOINT COMPLIANCE AND INSPECTION COMMISSION
JOINT STATEMENT NUMBER 38

ON TRAINING MODELS OF MISSILES FOR THE RSM-56 SLBM

The Parties, referring to the Treaty Between the United
States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
on the Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms
of July 31, 1991, hereinafter referred to as the Treaty,
understand that training models of the SLBM designated by the
Russian Federation as the RSM-56 differ from SLBMs of that
type on the basis of the following declared external and
functional differences that are visible during inspections
conducted pursuant to the Treaty:

Two holes, each no less than 15 millimeters in diameter,
drilled through the launch canister, in the region of the
first stage rocket motor; and, coaxial with one of these two
holes, one hole, no less than ten millimeters in diameter,
drilled through the casing of the first stage rocket motor
and into the inert propellant.

Nothing in this Joint Statement shall be deemed to
prejudice the right of the Russian Federation to declare
other external and functional differences to differentiate
training models of missiles for the RSM-56 from SLBMs of that
type.

To assist inspectors, the Russian Federation shall
either provide a photograph of each of the differences of
training models of missiles for the RSM-56 or, if a
photograph of any of such differences has not been provided
prior to the first inspection of an item declared to be a
training model of such a missile on the basis of such a
difference, the inspected Party shall provide to the
inspecting Party, during that inspection, a photograph of the
difference, taken in accordance with paragraph 18 of Section
VI of, and Subsection B of Section VI of Annex 8 to, the
Protocol on Inspections and Continuous Monitoring Activities
Relating to the Treaty.
