Second, the program will develop a variant of the B-1 bomber, possibly deploy 100 aircraft beginning 1986, and will continue research and development toward an advanced technology bomber--"Stealth." B-52Gs and B-52Hs (and eventually B-1s) will carry more than 3000 cruise missiles beginning 1982. Existing KC-135 aerial tankers will receive new engines. I thoroughly support the deployment of 3000 cruise missiles on the B-52s, but believe that since the B-52s launch their cruise missiles from outside Soviet airspace, only the missiles have to penetrate Soviet air defenses, diminishing the need for a penetrating...
...submarines--which carry 24 missiles as opposed to 16 carried by Poseidon subs--at a rate of one per year, initially to house the Trident-I, which is also being installed in existing Poseidon submarines. The program will also develop a larger 6000-mile range Trident-II missile for deployment on Trident submarines in 1989. It will also deploy several hundred submarine-launched missiles beginning in 1984. Both the cruise missiles and the Trident-II missiles will be much more accurate than current submarine-launched ballistic missiles; in the event that our land-based forces are taken...
...menace to their survival, and, conversely, to give the benefit of the doubt to the Soviet Union's well-calculated rhetoric of peace. Joseph Luns, NATO's outspoken Secretary-General, noted the ultimate irony: "There is a greater fear of the weapons NATO is to deploy than of the weapons the U.S.S.R. has already deployed." Alarmed by the antimissile movement's challenge to the Western alliance, France's President François Mitterrand, a firm believer in U.S. defense policies, said during his visit to the U.S. last month: "As soon as possible, the U.S. should take the initiative, catch...
...speech last week (see NATION), President Reagan moved to seize the opportunity. In.offering to drop plans to deploy U.S. intermediate-range missiles if the Soviets dismantle theirs, he tried, belatedly and for the first time, to allay Europe's roiling fears. He also sought to undercut Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev, who had skillfully exploited America's essential and long-held views on nuclear strategy to portray the Soviet Union as the only superpower devoted to the search for peace (see ESSAY). While Reagan's proposal was hailed by Europe's leaders, the reaction of the peace groups was ambivalent. They...
...Europeans who initially urged the U.S. to develop and deploy the new missiles reasoned that they would offset the growing arsenal of intermediate-range Soviet SS-20s while giving the U.S. bargaining strength in any future arms negotiations. Beginning in 1977, Schmidt led the campaign for the Europeans. In so doing, he was trying to ensure that the U.S. would remain faithful to its pledge, made when the alliance was formed in 1949, to defend NATO's European members...
