This is in the case of both the number of offensive strategic weapons has "sufficient sense of" to freeze the number of development into the direction to improve the quality of the nuclear arms race. The Soviet Union, the Interim Agreement is beneficial to keep the number of offensive strategic weapons to the U.S. advantage, in order to focus on to catch up to the United States in terms of quality. For the United States, it was actually stop the increase in the number of offensive strategic weapons, Interim Agreement to limit Soviet offensive strategic weapons, especially the massive growth of the SS-9 missile is clearly in line with U.S. interests, and the United States the weapons quality advantage enough to offset the number of advantages of the Soviet Union.

Some U.S. military strategy experts pointed out that the treaty disadvantage of the United States is: to allow the Soviet Union to deploy 308 heavy missile, and its destructive power than the sum of the destructive power of the existing U.S. ICBMs; Soviet Backfire bomber is not strategic weapons, without taking into account into within the overall limit of U.S. airborne cruise missiles as a sub-guided multiple-warhead strategic weapons to be restricted; strategic weapons total and sub-guided multiple warhead missiles limit is on the high side, is conducive to the Soviet Union to play a number of its ICBMs throwing big weight advantage, and meet the needs of the Soviet Union's attempt to accelerate the deployment of the sub-guided multiple warhead missiles. According to the Constitution of the United States, the treaty is subject to two-thirds of the Senate before taking effect. Due to lack of a sufficient number of votes of support during the Carter administration, Congress postponed the debate and vote on the treaty.
