Although there has been controversy about what took place during and after the stroll in the woods, the basic provisions of the unofficial proposal are now well known. The U.S. would forgo the deployment of all 108 Pershing IIs in West Germany and install a total of only 300 cruise missiles, instead of 464, in Western Europe. The Soviets, in exchange, would reduce the number of SS-20 missile launchers aimed at Western Europe from 250 to 75.
