Carter Defers Neutron Weapon Production in Nuclear Standoff
The Carter administration says it has handed the arms control test to the Soviet Union by deferring neutron weapon production while urging Moscow to restrain its forces. Officials say the move could force a serious Soviet proposal on reducing missiles and tanks, with mixed reactions in NATO and Congress. The decision comes as the U.S. continues modernizing Lance missiles and nuclear artillery ready to adapt to neutron warheads if produced later. The outcome hinges on Soviet restraint, despite U.S. doubts about their capability to build such warheads.
