...What is involved affects more than just a rational argument. The debate over deployment also had its strong emotional elements. I remember a Saturday when I flew in a helicopter away from the Chancellery grounds over 300,000 people who were demonstrating against my decision to deploy the Pershings. Like anyone in politics, you must always ask yourself whether you have acted correctly. But you can't govern by the numbers. Otherwise, we could replace a Chancellor with a polling institute. I consider the most important task I have is to contribute toward making the ties between the Federal Republic...
During their five-day flight, the crew of seven will deploy two commercial communications satellites, study space motion sickness and the effects of weightlessness on the cardiovascular system, and conduct 36 experiments that may lead to the development of new life-saving drugs...
Under the rules of the 1979 Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty, which both superpowers are observing even though it was never ratified by the Senate, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. are allowed to deploy one new missile system each.

The Reagan Administration has disputed that point several...

Under Brezhnev, Soviet policy had been absolutely uncompromising, and absolutely unacceptable: the U.S., said the Soviets, had no right to deploy even a single Euromissile...
...West European antimissile movement, which the Soviets have fervently encouraged, staged small, mostly discreet demonstrations across the street from the Soviet mission; a handful of Americans joined them. Dissent was far more evident in Belgium, which has been debating whether to deploy U.S. cruise missiles. To ensure that the basing plan went ahead, Kampelman, Tower and Glitman lobbied Prime Minister Wilfried Martens during a day trip to Brussels on Monday. On Friday, Martens announced Belgium would proceed because an accord on limiting INF missiles would be "impossible in the short term"; hours later, the first cruises arrived in the country...
