Heavy bombers equipped for nuclear armaments other than long-range nuclear ALCM's will be counted as one delivery vehicle against the 1,600 limit and will be attributed with one warhead against the 6,000 limit.

Heavy bombers equipped for long-range nuclear ALCM's will be counted as one delivery vehicle against the 1,600 limit and shall be attributed with an agreed number of warheads against the 6,000 limit.

Within the 1,600 limit on delivery vehicles, the United States of America may have no more than 150 heavy bombers equipped for long-range nuclear ALCM's that are attributed with 10 warheads each.

The agreement was not comprehensive, however, as it did not restrict the number of heavy bombers or missiles equipped with multiple warheads (MIRVs) for either country, which by 1974 worked to the advantage of the United States.
