House picks MX funding in tight 220 207 vote
The House narrowly backed $2.56 billion to build 27 of 100 MX missiles, rejecting a bid to delete MX funds from the 1984 defense authorization bill. Support from moderates, led by Majority Leader Jim Wright, highlighted concerns over Reagan arms policy and defense spending. A separate vote approved $625 million to test the 10 warhead weapon.
