The Independent Record. Helena. Wednesday. November 26, 1986 7A Air Force weints more missiles WASHINGTON (AP) Defense Department officials meet next month to determine the final shape of an Air Force request for 50 more MX missiles that could be carried on rail cars, and mobile Midgetman missiles, administration sources say. Air Force officials presented their proposal for the weapons Tuesday, saying they hoped to link the two missile programs to improve their chances of winning congressional approval for both.

The Air Force officials gave their presentation at a closed- door meeting of a senior Defense Department policy-making group known as the Joint Requirements Management Board. No final decisions were reached. The board will meet again in December to compose a final recommendation to Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger, the sources said. Weinberger, in turn, will review the matter and forward his findings to President Reagan for a decision.

Neither Weinberger nor Deputy Defense Secretary William H. Taft IV sat in on Tuesday's meeting. The sources, who demanded anonymity, refused to predict whether the two men would agree with the Air Force's recommendations. Congress, concerned whether MX missiles could survive a nuclear attack, restricted deployment to 50 of the missiles instead of the 100 sought by Reagan. The MX missiles approved by Congress to date are to be placed in refurbished Minute-man missile silos that are considered vulnerable to a first strike by the Soviet Union.

On the other hand, Congress has already given its blessing to the Midgetman, a truck-mounted, single-warhead missile. Many Air Force and Pentagon officials would prefer to develop the missile to carry at least two warheads, but the Air Force is willing to bow to congressional pressure on that point, the sources said. The current plan calls for at least 500 of the missiles. The Pentagon board was offered some alternatives on the size of the Midgetman, The Air Force also informed the hoard that it would like to conduct an extensive analysis of what it calls "garrisoned rau mobile basing tor tne ma.

The study will be completed by mid-January, If the Pentagon knew Reagan planned to propose the 10-year elimination program, "I certainly think we would have put more effort" into a detailed analysis of its likely impact before the Iceland summit. Rep. Les Aspin, chairman of the panel, said he "thought it was rather strange" that Reagan's plan should be proposed first and then later studied for its impact. WASHINGTON (AP) The Pentagon is rushing to complete a study of the military impact of eliminating all nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles, following last month's proposal by President Reagan that both superpowers discard their missile stockpiles within a decade.

Since Reagan returned, a Pentagon task force has been analyzing what the impact would be on U.S. defense policy if all ballistic missiles were eliminated within a decade, as Reagan proposed. That would leave both sides with only nuclear-armed bombers and cruise missiles. Both countries have hundreds of nuclear-tipped ballistic mis Your Candy fa 1 ft P-M 411 N.

Crowe said Reagan's proposal surprised the five-member Joint Chiefs of Staff, the country's top military body. Before the summit meeting, "the general feeling was there would be some addressing of arms control issues at Reykjavik, but not much progress," he said. "We didn't think the proposals at Reykjavik would go that far, But at an open hearing Tuesday before Wallace, Marks testified, "I have no intention of having sex. I have no thoughts of having sex."
