recent aggregate MOU data exchanged by the Parties no later than 30
days after the expiration of each six-month period following entry
into force of the START Treaty. Only the more significant aggregate
data is listed here and on the accompanying tables. The data under
the "Total, Former USSR Parties" heading was compiled by the U.S.
Department of State from the individual totals submitted by these
Parties, and is provided for ease of comparison.
Note that all data reflects specific START counting rules.
Within tables, a "--" denotes that the entry is not applicable. The
complete unclassified MOU data of the Parties is available upon
