...Alexander Haig and Harold Brown, and The New Republic calls their product "one of the most serious and sophisticated official documents of the nuclear era." The members of the Commission made three basic recommendations. Discard the notion of U.S. strategic inferiority by considering simultaneously bombers, missiles and submarines, deploy 100 MXs, each with 10 warheads, in hardened Minuteman silos, and for the future, move away from Multiple. Independent Re entry Vehicles (MIRVs) towards a small, single warhead missile appropriately dubbed "Midgetman...
...French and British nuclear deterrent been thus ignored? Certainly no one can deny Western Europe's interest in the talks, indeed, these countries have far more directly at stake than the U.S., nor the degree to which U.S. and European goals are the same. The NATO decision to deploy the missiles in the first place was exactly that--a joint decision by the NATO governments, as advised by their military staffs. Why, then, does this mutuality break down when the debate turns to individual nuclear forces? The public argument, identical in London and Paris as well as in Washington, goes...

How can this be squared with support for the plans to deploy American missiles on West German soil...
...March, Reagan modified the U.S. bargaining stance by suggesting an "interim agreement" under which NATO would deploy a smaller number of cruises and Pershing Us in exchange for a reduction in the number of SS-20s to the same level.

West German Defense Minister Manfred Worner first mentioned an "interim solution" at a December 1982 NATO meeting. About the same tune, it was echoed by Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher. But if the interim solution fails to produce an agreement...
What has made the question especially vexing for Western defense strategists is that on its surface the Soviet proposal seems eminently logical. According to Moscow, the U.S. idea of trading Soviet SS-20s against a NATO promise to deploy fewer Pershing II and cruise missiles in Europe would still leave the Soviet Union vulnerable to a surprise strike from British and French nuclear forces. Said Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko last month: "Imagine that a terrible tragedy has occurred and that, say, a nuclear-tipped British missile is in flight. Should it carry the tag I AM BRITISH...
