Soviet offer to cut missiles rejected by U S
The Reagan administration dismissed an informal Soviet proposal to cut to about 120 medium range missiles if NATO abandons Pershing 2 and cruise missiles. White House spokesman Speakes said the plan still leaves the Soviet arsenal over 700 warheads, and would not be accepted. State Department noted the offer was relayed to Paul Nitze in Geneva and called it a half zero option. The Kremlin denied signaling any change on counting British and French missiles.
