- LETTERS, Page 8No to a New Missle?
-
- Congratulations on an excellent analysis of the choices
- confronting President Bush on nuclear missiles (NATION, April
- 3). I wholeheartedly endorse your comment that the wisest
- selection may be to drop the proposed multibillion-dollar
- modernization of our land-based ICBMs. It is time for both the
- U.S. and the Soviet Union to stop amassing arms and concentrate
- on further negotiations and reductions in the weapons
- stockpiles.

- You ask the question "Does the U.S. really need a new
- nuclear missile?" In the face of advances made by the Soviet
- Union in the accuracy of its ICBMs, the answer is a clear yes.

- Bruce van Voorst was right on target in suggesting that the
- U.S. take advantage of Gorbachev's arms-control initiatives. It
- makes much more sense to negotiate for further cutbacks in
- Soviet missiles than to spend billions of dollars on new U.S.
- land-based missile systems.
