Defens spending but cuts Back sharply on the while House request for Star wars defense research and construction of a missiles. The Bill gives Reagan s1s.4 billion less than he requested for the fiscal year that began oct. I. Reagan sought authority to build 48 my missiles but Congress approved Only 12 of the weapons. In addition. Congress capped the number of my missiles that can be deployed at any one time in minuteman missile Lilos at 50. The president sought s3.7 billion for work on his strategic defense initiative also known As Star  Congress approved j2.8 billion. Meanwhile Reagan and defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger Are insisting that Congress steer budget balancing cuts away from the administration s Mili tary buildup because they risk harming arms control talks. Reagan said Friday that although he supports the Gramm Rudman balanced budget measure approved by the Senate be does t like the House s alter native plan because he thinks it would Hurt defense too much. Weinberger in remarks at Bri Hamyoung University in prove Utah Wor ried that defense cuts required in either version of the legislation could under mine negotiations with the soviets in  both balanced budget measures would impose cuts in Federal spending if preset annual targets for shrinking the deficit Are missed but neither plan would protect defense from those cuts. The House version exempts Many Pov erty programs from spending reductions which would make other areas including the military More vulnerable to the Bud get a. In a time of reduced budgets the Pru Dent course of action is to apply cuts where they will Hurt the least to protect those programs most vital to National Security and reduce those programs that Are leu urgent Weinberger said. This legislation will not allow us to do  Weinberger has argued for years that defense spending does not contribute tothe Federal deficit. He maintains that Congress cannot treat the Pentagon Bud get at it does other Federal agencies be cause its budget needs Are measured against a perceived growing soviet threat not . Economic health. Gramm Rudman would impose uni form budget reductions without any concern for defense priorities or the Secu Rity needs of the nation the Pentagon chief said. This is a dangerous propose  significant cuts in our defense budget now could seriously undermine negotiations with the soviets in the future he said. Senate Republican Leader Robert Dole who met with Reagan Early Friday told reporters the president still supports the original Senate version of strict balanced budget legislation and declared the House democrats alternative a  but the Kansas senator said Reagan told gop leaders he wants to stick with his plan to exempt the defense buildup from the budget cuts. Otherwise Dole said it could be a midget Man less vulnerable study says Washington not at a time when the Reagan administration has pro posed a ban on intercontinental Mobile mis Siles an air Force analysis is circulating snowing that the development of a single warhead Mobile missile could help the United states maintain the survivability of its land based missile Force in a nuclear conflict. The air Force calculations Are contained in a draft of a report by the air Force ballistic missile office. The analysis pre pared before the administration s shift against Mobile missiles is circulating with in the Pentagon and has been reviewed by some members of Congress. The analysis which was described by sen. Albert Gore jr., d-tenn., other con Gressional sources and Pentagon officials deals with the number of soviet weapons that would be needed for an effective bar rage attack on a Force of us. Midget Man missiles. Gore who has been a leading congressional proponent of the midget Man pro Gram said the analysis supports the conclusion that the Midge Man offers a Way to escape the theoretical first strike vulnerability of the american land based missile Force which has been the Central stated concern of president  he said that if the analysis had been made available to Congress before the Rea Gan administration disclosed its new Arris proposals it would have been impossible for the administration to propose a ban on Mobile  the air Force analysis was prepared As part of a More comprehensive defense department report to Congress on the midget Man program. The report was due last oct. I. Congressional proponents of the midget Man have complained that the report was deliberately delayed. A defense department official said civil Ian experts in the Secretary of defense s of fice have not had a Chance to examine Theair Force analysis and Are Uncertain whether they agree with it. The Pentagon official said the report was one of several on which the Pentagon has fallen behind. He called the charges that the Pentagon held Back the report Complete and total  although the air Force has not deter mined the exact size of a Mobile missile peace from Page 1 published in their country. He said a free press is one of America s proudest institutions. But he added no one should mis take our freedoms for weakness. We do not threaten your nation and never will the president said. The Amer ican people arc tolerant slow to anger but staunch in defense of their liberties and like you their  to human rights an area in which the United states accuses the soviet Union of abuses Reagan said both super Powers Are signatories to the Helsinki Fin land human rights accords and America asks the world s leaders to abide by what they have committed themselves  Reagan also called upon the soviets to join the United states to help find peace Ful settlements to local and regional conflicts in Afghanistan Africa latin America and elsewhere we must also join forces against terror ism he said. I strongly urge you and your government to join us in combating terror urn and ensuring that no country will offer Succour or Comfort to  Force its analysis assumes 300 single War head midget Man missiles would be deployed on hardened Mobile launchers. The development of such a launcher is an objective of the midget Man program and would be a significant technological accomplishment. According to the analysis these Mobile missile launchers would patrol a 5,000-Square-mile area on a Small number of . Military reservations. Given warn ing of a soviet attack the midget Man mis Siles would be dispersed within a 15,000 Square mile area on military land. Foresaid. A successful soviet barrage attack on the missiles within this 15,000-Square-mile area would require using almost All of the cur rent soviet land based missile Force. Gore said. This would leave the soviet Union with few Quick and accurate weapons to hit other targets. A defense department official confirmed Gore s Reading of the air Force analysis but cautioned that the ability of midget Man mis Siles to disperse quickly within a 15,000 Square mile area depended on the Assumption that the missiles would be kept continually on petrol and not in garrisons on the military reservation. If the missiles were based in Spe Cial garrisons they could be More vulnerable to an attack this official said. He added no decision has been made on the missile s concept of operation the air Force analysis does not consider How reductions in the number of offensive nuclear weapons would affect the ability of the midget Man to survive an attack.
