Defense Secretary Weinberger announced that the Soviet Union has begun deploying the SS-25, a mobile ICBM he called an undeniable violation of SALT II. The move follows prior U.S. warnings that flight tests and deployment would occur within years, raising tensions ahead of Geneva talks with Mikhail Gorbachev.

The Senate moves to approve a permanent 16 cent per pack cigarette tax to cut the deficit, rejecting a 24 cent levy and avoiding an 8 cent reduction after Nov. 14.
