IN THE USA FEW POPULAR

structure is connected with the break Russian-American ABM contract
(the present Treaty from the year 1972 dammed the arms race).

This facts to Wednesday published specification of the questioning,
which was executed in the USA on behalf of the TV society CBS and the
newspaper " The New York Times ", occupies.

The questioning showed the fact that today 67 per cent of the
Americans it supports the structure of the NMD system and 26 per cent
rejects this thought.  If however against the NMDS trailers the
question were set, in which the structure of the system was connected
with the withdrawal of the USA from the Russian-American contract of
1972, then reduced itself the number of positive responses immediately
to 33 per cent.  27 per cent of the original NMDS trailers answered
here to the new asked question negative.

The same picture was also visible, when the question contained the
note to it over the national anti-missile defense that this system
will never function according to many scientists.  In this case still
