This Agreement, signed three days after the Treaty between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. on the Elimination of Their Interme¬diate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles [at I.L.M. page 84], is referred to as the Basing Country Agreement because U.S. systems subject to the Treaty are based in these five countries. The Agreement confirms that the inspections called for in the INF Treaty will be permitted by the five U.S. Allied Basing Countries and provides the legal basis for the U.S. to make its commitment to the Soviets with regard to Soviet inspections in Belgium, the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The Basing Countries for Soviet Union are the German Democratic Republic and Czechoslovakia.
