Senate GOP may block Reagan MX plan in fear of war
Senate defense panel questions the temporary leasing of 40 MX missiles into Minuteman silos at a $3.6 billion cost. Alaska Republican Ted Stevens and others warn the plan could heighten first strike risk if the missiles are vulnerable to Soviet attack during the interim period. The panel insists on a permanent leasing decision by Congress before funding.

Reagan argues against nuclear arms freeze
President Reagan urged caution on an immediate Soviet United States arms freeze while advocating reductions later. He praised El Salvador’s vote as a democratic signal, warned against backing a government that abandons reforms, and supported a staged freeze after gaps favoring the Soviets are closed. He defended a Caribbean trip as not a vacation and noted potential talks on strategic weapons.
