Former secretaries deny Soviet nuclear superiority
Two former defense chiefs James R. Schlesinger and Harold Brown told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Reagan’s claim of Soviet superiority is not accepted. They urged quicker resumption of arms control talks and warned against overstating Soviet strength. They praised some Reagan policies like increased conventional forces and MX missiles but rejected a nuclear freeze. They argued the US maintains substantial superiority in submarines, bombers, and cruise missiles, while noting the USSR has improved hard target capabilities.
