President's report on continuing the acquisition of the Peacekeeper (MX) missile. (Includes the Executive Summary)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6487371

The report and Executive Summary on the Peacekeeper missile contains the President's assessment of the requirement for Peacekeeper and the anticipated impact of the continued procurement of Peacekeeper missiles, pursuant to the provisions of Public Law 98-525, Section 110 of October 19, 1984. After thorough analysis, the President has concluded that the continued production and deployment of Peacekeeper (M-X) missiles in existing Minuteman silos is required in order to maintain U.S. national security interests, is consistent with U.S. arms control policy, and enhances the prospects for global stability. As a result, the President seeks to remove Congressional restrictions on the Fiscal Year 1985 funds that were authorized and appropriated by the Congress for the Peacekeeper missile program. The report provides the President's reasons and furnishes additional information as required by the Congress.
