MX missiles deployment not finalized official says
Washington officials say plans announced last week for 36 MX missiles are only examples and the decision process is not complete. Marvin Atkins of the Defense Department notes no decision on basing in Minuteman or Titan silos, or numbers, and states the Air Force will study costs, hardening, and protection against Soviet attack as interim steps toward closing the vulnerability window of the mid 1980s.
