He adds, "A lot will depend on Dole." Fortunately for Reagan, the Senate minority leader and presidential candidate finally seemed ready to support the accord, after weeks of mealymouthed hedging. Last week Bob Dole called the INF treaty a "watershed accomplishment." He also said he did not foresee "any amendment that's going to require renegotiation...
