Tower voices concerns on MX missile basing plan
Chairman John Tower of the Senate Armed Services Committee says placing 100 MX missiles in hardened existing silos leaves the nation vulnerable to Soviet attack. He calls the plan a minimal, temporary measure and criticizes the administration for insufficient Pentagon input ahead of the decision. Defense Secretary Weinberger calls it a stopgap amid a widening gap, noting survivability is temporary and basing options will be studied.
