MX missile endorsed amid debate on desert basing plan
The House backed the MX mobile missile 316 to 96 but delayed the desert basing plan for Utah and Nevada. The vote blocked Dellums amendment to cut 2.4 billion from the defense bill and advanced Hansen amendment to delay basing until Reagan decides. Reagan’s administration backs MX while Carter's shelter proposal faces cost concerns and alternatives like submarines or silo basing are discussed.
