Executive Progress Report on Small ICBM Siting and Basing Options

Abstract

In January 1983, President Reagan formed a bipartisan Commission on Strategic Forces to review the strategic modernization program of the United States. Known as the Scowcroft Commission, the panel of distinguished experts conducted an extensive review that offered conclusions and recommendations intended to develop a broad national consensus on several difficult issues. These included recommendations on basing our forces, achieving equitable arms control agreements, and improving strategic stability. The Commission's recommendations were accepted by the President and Congress and have since become the foundation for the current Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Modernization Program.
