U.S. nuclear arsenal remains adequate, Defense Secretary says
Cheney reiterates nation's security
WASHINGTON (AP) -
America's most powerful and
modern weapons will still be
ready, in missile silos on land and
aboard nuclear
submarines
prowling the
oceans, even af
ter the cutbacks
President Bush is
ordering in the
nation's arsenal.
"The world
has changed, but
insurance is still
a good idea,"
Defense Secre
tary Dick Ch
eney said over the weekend. "Un
der this plan, we believe we will
have enough."
And "enough" means some
2,000 nuclear warheads ready to
be hurled aloft by 550 interconti
nental nuclear missiles, as well as
the more than 5,000 nuclear war
heads that could be launched from
the Navy's 24 ballistic missile sub
marines.
The core of the nation's nucle
ar defense remains a mighty one,
particularly until the Soviets say
Cheney
they are willing to agree to further
cuts in the most deadly weapons.
Even though Bush ordered
startling cuts in the nation's arse
nal of nuclear weaponry, much re
mains untouched by his initiative.
In his Friday speech, the presi
dent moved to sharply reduce the
number of nuclear arms used at
sea and on the battlefield, known
as tactical nuclear weapons.
He also took off hair-trigger
alert status the front line of the na
tion's nuclear bomber forces, as
well as the oldest sector of its in
tercontinental ballistic missiles,
the Minuteman IIs.
"We are doing nothing that
would put the nation at risk,"
Gen. Colin Powell said.
Bush ordered the 450 single
warhead Minuteman II missiles
off alert and accelerated moves
that will mean their eventual elim
ination.
That still leaves the nation de
fended by 50 MX missiles, with 10
warheads each, and 500 triple
warhead Minuteman III missiles
in their silos. That means that a
force now armed with 2,450 nucle
ar warheads will retain the de
structive power of the 2,000 most
modern nuclear warheads.
And there is no change in the
alert status of the MXs or the Min
uteman Ills, Air Force officials
said.
Even though Bush ordered the
280 premier long-range bombers,
and their tankers, off their alert

lateral nuclear weapons
cuts/Page 1
status, all the B-52s and the B-lBs
will be maintained.
Their nuclear bombs and nu
clear cruise missiles will also be
kept in storage, but could be
reloaded in the bombers within a
day's time, officials said.
And the Pentagon will retain
its smaller bombers, capable of de
livering either nuclear or conven
tional bombs, at their bases over
seas.
Bush's proposal does not affect
sea-based ballistic missile systems.
The world's oceans and strate
gic sea lanes will still be patrolled
by the Navy's 24 nuclear sub
marines.

military production to civil uses.
This is one way they can do it.
They no longer need the weapon
ry, and can match what the U.S.
does."
Keuter said, however, the is
sue of long-range nuclear
weapons is not as clear-cut.
"The Soviets are much more
leery in this area," he said. "Most
of their nuclear forces are in
ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic
missiles), while most of ours are
launched from submarines."
Keuter said the eliminations,
however, will not affect U.S. de
fense plans in Europe.
"As far as tactical weapons go,
this will have no real effect on the
U.S. military," he said. "Those
weapons were only a last resort if
Warsaw Pact forces were overrun
ning our own. Now that the
threat, and the Warsaw Pact, is
gone, there is nothing left that
could cause us to use a tactical nu
clear weapon."
The Warsaw Pact, a military
alliance of Eastern European
countries, officially dissolved ear
lier this year.
The plan also includes elimina
tion of alert status from several
Strategic Arms Command bases,
Keuter said.
"For the Air Force this is a
dream come true," he said.
"Crews that were on seven day
alert, kept away from their fami
lies, have been removed from alert
status."
Keuter said 40 B-52s, from an
arsenal of about 280, will be re
moved from alert status.
"These planes will have their
weapons downloaded," he said.
"They will then be returned to
regular duty, and put on a normal
flight cycle."
Keuter said, however, that
planes off alert status could still be
used for nuclear strikes.
"The planes can be loaded
back up in 12 to 24 hours," he
said. "We lose some of our fast re
action capability, but there is no
longer the same threat of an immi
nent attack. Tensions have eased
off."
In addition to the B-52s, Keuter
said 450 long-range Minuteman
ICBMs have also been taken off
alert status. He said the missiles
were to be eliminated with the rat-
ification of the START treaty soon,
and the move is only a jump-start
on that program.
About 550 missiles, including
Minuteman Ills, will not be affect
ed by the action and remain on
alert.
The SHRAM II, a short range
nuclear missile presently under
development would also be cut by
the plan, Keuter said.
"The elimination of the
SHRAM II comes as a surprise,"
he said. "Although the program
was a year behind schedule, the
missile had not even been tested.
The SHRAM A has already been
taken off of alert due to technical
problems."
While the cutbacks are a major
step, other nations with nuclear
capabilities need to join in the ef
fort, Keuter said.
"The cuts are drastic for mili
tary planners," he said. "We will
be cleaning out all of Europe, but
what we really need is to get na
tions like Britain, France and Chi
na to make the same types of cuts.
Maybe they will play the same
game."
While other nations joining the
bandwagon may not have been
the main goal of Bush's proposal,
Keuter says it is a sidelight he is
looking for.
