Reagan asks funds release for 21 MX Peacekeeper missiles
Reagan sent a Monday report to Capitol Hill formally requesting release of last year’s approved funds for building 21 of the Peacekeeper warheads. He warned that without MX the chance of a bargain with the Soviet Union on nuclear reductions would be substantially reduced as Geneva talks begin March 12. Sen. Warner predicted the MX would pass in the Senate, while House Leader Wright noted negotiations might help approval. Two years prior Congress narrowly approved the first 21 MX missiles.
