...Europe, a chart comparing missile lev els) as he delivered his message. His points: the U.S. and its allies cut back on military spending while the Soviets not only built up their conventional forces but steadily added to their arsenal of SS-20 missiles. NATO's plan to deploy new Pershing II and land-based cruise missiles was designed only to counter this threat. All programs should and would be canceled if Moscow would dismantle its own medium-range missile force. Reagan stressed that any treaty must be verifiable by both sides.

Besides putting the orbiter itself through a rigorous series of maneuvers, Engle and Truly conducted several successful tests of a 50-foot mechanical arm, which on future missions will be used to retrieve satellites for in-flight servicing or later repairs on earth, and to deploy payloads from the shuttle's cargo hold. On this mission, the 15-foot by 60-foot cargo bay held its first scientific payload, with experiments designed to study a variety of geologic, atmospheric, and oceanic features...

In addition, the peace movement reacted angrily to Ronald Reagan's announcement last month that the U.S. would produce neutron weapons that may ultimately be deployed in Europe...
