Reagan Lobbies To Block MX Missile Deployment Plan
The Reagan administration fights to stop a Senate move by Sen. Sam Nunn to cap MX deployments at 40 missiles, with a 12 missile limit in 1986, and to bar basing 10 warheads in Minuteman silos. Nunn warns against a vulnerable basing mode while White House negotiators seek a SALT II compromise.

Critics Attack Contract Freeze Over Navy Arms Firm
Washington critics decry the Pentagon action freezing contract talks for a $6 billion General Dynamics submarine and other weapons. Navy Secretary Lehman censured retired Admiral Rickover for accepting jewelry and knickknacks, saying the gesture was a fall from grace. Rickover defended his 84 years of service, while Lehman cited investigations questioning contractor integrity and paused further processing for Electric Boat and Pomona divisions.
