...sharp and potentially dangerous cut in personal taxes--and his support throughout the 60s for the Vietnam War as dampers on his appeal. But Anderson supporters are attracted by this man who does not hesitate to admit his mistakes or his frustrations. His vehement opposition to the proposed MX missile, the B-1 bomber and the draft, and his equally vocal support of SALT II and a carefully planned foreign policy have gained him more than a few recruits...
Like Reagan, Crane favors the Kemp-Roth tax bill, development of the MX missile, the B-1 bomber, the neutron bomb, nuclear energy, the decontrol of oil, the prohibition of abortion and the easing of environmental regulations to allow the burning of coal...

It would restrict the Soviets from adding new multiple warheads to their large SS-18 missile and the United States from embarking on the production and deployment of the MX missile system. An important irony of the nuclear arms race is that more weapons do not give greater security, but instead add to instability. Each side has moved beyond the number of missiles that a rational system of defense would require, and instead has built--one goaded on by the other...
