Do not drop the nuclear guarantee-made at the formation of NATO after World War II-that the U.S. would respond to a Soviet first strike on Western Europe with a nuclear second strike...
Burt had been refining the State Department option. The result was similar in many respects to the walk in the woods, with the important exception that the U.S. would retain the right to deploy the Pershing II. Weinberger did not want to budge.

Even as U.S. cruise missiles were being delivered to Greenham Common last week, the authoritative Jane's Defense Review, a London publication, confirmed that the Soviet Union was expected to deploy its own advanced version next year.

Unlike the Tomahawk ground-launched cruise missiles that are now being deployed in Western Europe, the Soviet missile...
