Playing down Reagan's earlier warnings about VS. missiles being vulnerable to Soviet attack, the panel unanimously pro- posed building 100 MX weapons, each armed with 10 nuclear warheads, and putting them in launch silos now holding Minute- man missiles in Wyoming and Nebraska. Accompanying that proposal was the commission's one new idea: developing a smaller, single-warhead missile for deploy- ment in the early 1990s. The group said that could be a cor- nerstone for a new approach to arms control. During a brief meeting, Reagan formally received the panel's recommendations but withheld his endorsement. "Some of my best friends are MX missiles," he joked. Aides said Reagan likely will embrace the recommendations next week, once Congress has completed battling over a nuclear weapons freeze and the disputed nomination of Kenneth Adel- man to head the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. "Few if any will consider our recommendations an optimal solution," said retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Brent Scowcroft, head of the 11-member Presidential Commission on Strategic Forces. "If such were available, this commission probably would not have been convened."
