Notable Event: U.S. President Bill Clinton and Russian President Boris Yeltsin jointly signed START II (or the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty), which prohibited the use of multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs) on intercontinental ballistic missiles (or ICBMs). However, it was never ratified, as Russia withdrew from the agreement following the United States’ withdrawal from the ABM Treaty.
