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.
Mithoo A. Vaswani

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.
Paul David Anderson

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.
