Reagan not afraid to touch MX issue
President Reagan enters the Pension Building and signals openness to reexamining MX basing options and social security funding. He proposes resubmitting a dense pack missile plan with alternatives, while a bipartisan commission studies Social Security to avoid turning it into a political football. The plan hinges on Congress approving funding and possible basing changes within a 45 day window.
